What Is The Normal Uric Acid Level?

about two months ago had a gout attack for the first time. my left toe was swollen and painful. it was very bothersome but not terrible. with a strict change in my diet of no meat and only appropriate vegetables plus fresh daily beet-carrot-apple juice plus various herbal tea and 3 liters of water ı have overcome the attack. it took me two months to rteturn to normal and put my shoes on again. ı did not take any drugs. my uric acid level at the time of attack was 9.6

i purchased a uric acid, glucose checking meter. two days ago my uric acid count before breakfast was 3. before dinner was 4.9 and after dinner was 4.6. is this normal and should ı increase my uric acid with diet change without chemical drugs please.

thank you for yr assistance.

yes your uric acid level is normal. Normal level is apporx 2 to 6 mg/dl. it is affected by protein diet. because uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism. you don;t need to increase your uric acid level. it is normal. if it increase further then you can take medicine to control. allopurino (xyloric) is the standard drug for that. consult physician for that. right now no interventions are required.
