Elevated Uric Acid, Have Renal Stones, Advised Laser Surgery. Is It Possible To Cure With Medicines Or Lifestyle Modifications?
Hi Doctor, I am facing problem of high uric acid 7.9 in urine, due to which I got two stones in my right and let kidneys of around 4mm. I am feeling any pain but doctor suggested for laser treatment for right kidney. I am afraid of laser treatment. I had kidney stones 4 years back and gone through endoscopic surgery. Kindly suggest is it possible to cure with medicine or life style change. Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
The underlying cause of uric acid excess has to be made out and treating it will put an end to the stone problem.
Also drinking Cranberry juice will alter the PH of the urine and prevent the uric acid to crystallize.
A stone of 4 mm is best treated with Shock waves and is simple procedure compared to endoscopy.
Wish you good health.
