Measuring the uric acid in urine is done after collecting the urine of 24 hours and no special preparation is needed.
The levels of urine uric acid is considered elevated; further evaluations should be done: - to exclude kidney stones of uric acid - measure blood uric acid (to exclude gout)
If everything is ok,then, it might be related to high protein diet you are following.
