Uric acid 8.1 mg/dl. high? what should be done to lower the result ? no symptoms, no pain so far. thank you!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uric acid: Your uric acid appears borderline high. The best way to further discuss goals of decreasing that value would be to call your ordering physician as he or she has the best view over your overall medical situation. There are only few circumstances that medicine might be needed and diet will be the first step to initiate, prior to meds.
