Hello,
A uric acid level of 8 mg/dL is considered borderline high and may increase the risk of gout or kidney stones if not managed. The good news is that uric acid levels can often be brought down with lifestyle changes and, if needed, medications.
Lifestyle Measures:
Drink plenty of water (2.5–3L/day).
Avoid high-purine foods: red meat, organ meats, shellfish, and alcohol (especially beer).
Limit sugar-sweetened beverages and refined carbs.
Include more fruits (especially cherries), vegetables, and whole grains.
Maintain a healthy weight and stay active.
Medication:
If your level remains high or you have symptoms (e.g. joint pain or swelling), your doctor may prescribe uric acid-lowering medicines like Allopurinol or Febuxostat. In some cases, lifelong treatment may be required, especially if gout or kidney involvement is present—but not always.
Next Steps (What should the patient do next?)
Get evaluated for symptoms of gout or kidney issues.
Repeat uric acid level after 4–6 weeks of lifestyle changes.
Consult a physician for personalized medication advice if levels remain high.
Helpful Tips
Do not self-medicate—start uric acid-lowering treatment only under medical supervision.
Monitor for signs like joint pain, especially in the big toe or ankle, which may suggest gout.
Regular follow-up is key to avoiding long-term complications.
