What Causes Elevated Uric Acid Levels?
I had a sore big red sore at first, then went to DR and he gave me some medication and then I came back a acouple weeks later with restores, feet, ankles, and running up just past my knees. my uric acid level was I believe 108.8. even my hand and other part of body. Hips as well. This time he gave me (prednisone 10mg) DR will call me in acoulpe day and then he said if I am better I will have to take (Allopurinol 300mg) He said I will have to more and likely take this the rest of my life. Does this sound correct to you Sometime I get very confused when hearing thing from a DR.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. High uric acid can be due to diet or kidney dysfunction or inflammatory process running in the body. Taking uricosuric drugs like Febuxostat and vitamin c will be helpful.
Thanks.
