Easy does it: Having trouble understanding. You do know that 7.2 is in the reference range for men & not a danger signal for a woman. If it was once higher & you're working on lowering, you did good, ease up if you want. Super-purine-rich stuff like sweetbreads is worth avoiding if you've actually had a gout attack. But avoiding your favorite protein-rich dinner to "treat a lab value"? Talk again with your dr.

If you have gout: If you have known gout, you would want to lower the uric acid to below 6. Consider avoiding carbonated sugary drinks as these have associated with triggering gout attacks. Weight loss could also potentially help.

See note: New guide are below 6.0 which means we need to control it below 5 to allow for food fluctuation to prevent attack. Use google all info is there. See your doctor too. Take vegetable protein and avoid all alcohols. If still high you need medicine. High uric acid could also high BP too.
