Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Let me answer your queries.

- In the diet she should avoid
a) mutton or any red meat
b) lentil
c) Fruits with seeds like tomatoes
d) alcohol
e)seafood
f)Vegetables like cauliflower, spinach ,peas , mushroom

- Repeat the test after 6 months.

ESR or Erythrocyte Sedimentation rate is just a serum marker. It is raised in any type of inflammation or infection. Get a total blood count done to see if she has any infection.

Normal value of uric acid is less than 5.7 for females and that of ESR is less than 10

Visit a physician. He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.


Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your mother good health.
