Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Uric acid levels can be reduced by taking medications. However, to keep it under control, one needs to avoid intake of non-vegetarian diet and alcohol.
Also, it is essential to keep well hydrated by consuming good quantities of water.
Uric acid level with 7.9 mg/dl of your husband seems to be fine, but can be still brought down further and kept under control by taking the above measures.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
