Recheck uric acid after starting treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must advise you to start medicines as soon as possible.
It's good you've checked your blood uric acid level, which's high.
The most common medicine used is Tablet Febuxostat, twice daily in your case.
After a month, you should recheck your uric acid level, to confirm, dose is proper.
You should avoid red meats, which are rich in uric acid, like mutton and beef.
You should be drinking 12-15 glasses of liquids daily.
It would be good to do an ultrasound scan of abdomen,as high uric acid are known to form stones.
Your weight is more than normal, for your height. So exercise daily.
There need not be any particular reason for high uric acid, but it's known to be hereditary in some people. I wonder what made you check uric acid.?
Follow the advice and you should be fine.
