A member asked:
What causes high uric acid, and how can i remediy it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: There are basically 2 causes: your body makes too much uric acid or your kidneys excrete too little. There is no need to do anything about it unless there is a history of gout, kidney stones or significant kidney disease.
