Disease Uric Acid in High Level

High Uric Acid Level

A high uric acid level can be caused when your body either produces too much uric acid or your kidneys don't eliminate uric acid rapidly enough.
A high uric acid level may cause increasingly frequent attacks of gout, or it may never cause problems. A high uric acid level may also cause some people to develop kidney stones or kidney failure. And some people with a high uric acid level also develop high blood pressure, heart disease or chronic kidney disease, but it's often unclear whether this is a direct cause or merely an early warning sign of these conditions.

The Factors that my cause a high uric acid level

• Drinking too much alcohol
• Immune-suppressing drugs
• Genetics
• Purin-rich diet
• Renal insufficiency
• Diuretic medications
• Tumor lysis syndrome

Also, you may be monitored for high uric acid level when undergoing chemotherapy or radiation threatment for cancer.
