Dear Friend
Welcome to HCM.
High uric acid requires evaluation for the cause.
In general we start treatment if it is persistent or more then 10.
Natural way to reduce it :
1. To consume lots of water.
2. Not to consume alcohol.
3. To avoid high intake of red meat, pulses like Rajma.
4. To get it repeated after 6 weeks.
If it is persisting even then, write to us again.
Stay Healthy
