High Uric Acid Levels. Taking Medicines For GOUT. Why Was Uric Acid Level High?
I have had high liver ACT tests for a few years now along with high Uric Acid levels. I have gout and kidney stones in the past. I m taking meds for the gout. I was told a long time ago I have a fatty liver . I have cut back drinking alcohol to the weekends, and still just had a pretty high liver ACt and Uric acid levels on my last tests!

Good Day! Your G.P. might need to adjust your medicine to decrease blood levels of uric acid and to decrease your liver enzymes. It is also important for you have a very healthy lifestyle if you are serious about your health. You should be on a low purine diet (the internet is full of resources and diet plans for it). If you consume a low purine diet then your uric acid will go down with the help of the medicines.
Good Luck.
