HI panditminal,
THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION.
INCREASES URIC ACID OCCUR DUE TO TWO REASON -1.INCREASE PRODUCTION.2.DECREASE EXCRETION.I HOPE HIS KIDNEY FUNCTION IS NORMAL SO HE MAY HAVE GOUT DUE TO INCREASE PRODUCTION.YOU SHOULD GO TO YOUR FAMILY PHYSICIAN OR A RHEUMATOLOGIST.HE WILL PRESCRIBE THE DRUG AND TELL ABOUT SOME DIETARY MODIFICATION.PLEASE FOLLOW THAT AND DO A REPEAT URIC ACID ESTIMATION AFTER A MONTH TO SEE THE RESPONSE.DONT STOP OR REDUCE THE DOSE OF MEDICATION WITHOUT DOCTORS ADVISE AND DO URIC ACID ESTIMATION EVERY 6 MONTHLY.
BY THE WAY AMLONG-A DONOT INCREASE URIC ACID SO YOU CAN TAKE IT SAFELY.

RED MEAT,EGG,BIG FISH,soyabean,spinach,tomato,milk etc
BEST WISHES
