See details: Diets and exercise have little or no effect on serum uric acid levels. If your friend does not have gout or kidney stones then no therapy is usually needed. If there is a history of gout or stones then Allopurinol is indicated.

Uric acid RX: Tart cherry juice is effective; avoid organ meats; fatty meats and alcohol will elevate uric acid. Avoid these. Also, drink at least 3 liters fluid per day - this may enhance uric acid excretion - if you incline diet successfully to mostly whole grain, fruit, and veggies, and nuts, using white fish and egg white for protein, then uric acid levels will come down. Allopurinol and febuxostat are RX
