Hi there,
I'm Dr. Shivangi, a family physician.
I'd like to help you with your doubt.
- So, for increased levels of uric acid, the dictom is to NOT start treatment if the patient is not having any related symptoms.
So it would be better to consult me, for me to understand if you're having any symptoms and decide if treatment is needed.
- Either way, treatment for uric acid reduction is not lifelong, unless indicated for some other reason.
Next Steps
Do consult me for further clarity into your symptoms.
