Prolonged high uric acid not only increases the risk of gout but can also lead to kidney stones, kidney damage, and is associated with metabolic syndrome.
Itchy skin, mild fever, body aches, and numb feet are signs of high uric acid that are often mistaken for allergies, neurological conditions, or stress.
Not drinking enough water, losing weight too quickly, and frequently consuming sugary drinks can keep uric acid levels high, even when red meat and alcohol are restricted.
