i'm a new user here and I have some
questions which I hope all you nice ppl
could help me out. I took a full blood
test recently and the results reveal that
my uric acid was high at 570 and the other
2 being sgot(ast) = 45 (limit 16-40)
sgpt(alt) = 71(limit 8-54). This kinda
worries me. From what I know, I should
cut down eating meat? I don't have a
healthy diet, 90% of my diet is
meat(chicken). Can't help it. What can I
do in order to reduce my uric acid level?
Is there any medication that I can take?
Btw, i'm 30, 157cm and 50kg. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Excessive uric acid in the circulation
could be due to increased production of
uric acid by metabolism, decreased removal
of uric acid by the kidneys or excessive
intake foods which lead to the production
of uric acid. You fall in the third
category wherein there is more intake of
meat which is causing your problem. You
need to undergo some kidney function tests
too.
Homeopathic medicine has good remedies
like colchicum, hydrastis, berb vulgaris
etc. To increase the removal of uric
acid.

Re: Please Help -- On Elevated Uric Acid, Sgot & Sgpt Posted: 09-03-04 11:59am
Hi fireblade,
sorry your post caught my attention late.
You have an elevated blood uric acid level
of 570 mmol/l (normal: less than 420) and
elevated sgot & sgpt readings. They
indicate you may have a problem with the
kidneys or other organs. The problem
seems to be more than just the diet can
do. If you have not already done so, I
strongly suggest you see an internist or a
nephrologist (kidney doctor) to track it
down what is causing the problem. Take
care.

Meat, beans, beer will make the gout
worse. You need to be on medication
