Depends on how high: You should consult your doctor since there are medications that can help depending on what symptoms you have andd how severe. At some levels dietary restrictions can help. See: http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/gout-diet/my01137.

Diet modification: High uric acid can lead to gout and kidney stones in some people. Try to reduce the purines in your diet, such as beans and meats.

High uric acid: You should see a doctor and have a 24 hour urine collection for uric acid (ua). If your urine has too much ua, you need to start allopurinol. If you have too little ua, you need to start colcrys. If you have a normal level of ua in your urine, uloric has to be used. Ua is a cardiovascular risk factor, so it is good to have it under control. Ask your doctor about your next steps to lower your ua.
