Hi i am experiencing pain on top of my foot which increases in the night. Am unable to walk properly my X-ray shows there is an inflammation. To rule out the possibility of gout I have been asked to take blood and urine tests. What should be a normal level of uric acid and why does it increase?
Normal levels of uric acid are 7 mg/DL.looking at the signs and symptoms they are suspecting gout. It is caused due to hyperglycemia that is increased uric acid levels in the blood. There are different reasons for it. It causes due to either increased uric acid production or decreased uric acid secretion. Looking at your reports it'll be helpful to diagnose the disease. Further they can decide treatment for it and if you need to be done other tests to confirm the diagnosis the synovial fluid test.
