What is the cause of uric acid build up thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often diet related: Many different foods and alcohol can increase uric acid levels. Red wine and beer are examples as are red meat, liver, and shellfish are examples. Other patients with increased uric acid levels can be caused by the body not eliminating uric acid which can be diagnosed by lab/urine tests. Good luck
