Gout is a form of arthritis caused by high
uric acid levels in the blood. When uric acid crystallises in the joints, it leads to pain, swelling, and stiffness. An elevated uric acid level of 8.84 mg/dL confirms the possibility of gout, especially with sudden ankle pain. The
kidney function (
creatinine 0.77) is normal, which is a good sign.

Health Tips
Drink at least 2.5â3 litres of water daily to flush out
uric acid. Limit high-purine foods: red meat, organ meats, seafood (prawns, mackerel, sardines). Cut down on paneer, heavy dals (urad, rajma, chana) and avoid mushrooms & spinach if uric acid is rising.
