ChaserHUN Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I had blood and pee test the last week, everything seemed ok, except that my uric acid is higher than it should be and I don't get it why. I thought high uric acid is present if someone eat a lot of meat and animal protein, but it seems not. Usually my diet looks like this:Breakfast: green smoothie or banana smoothie, or other sweet fruits in summerLunch: usually grains with lot of vegetabales, or in the summer sweet fruitsDinner: beans or lentils, after I eat some salads with sesame or poppy seeds. I don't get it why my uric acid is high, the upper value max is 400 and mine is 438.Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorseSense Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Do you drink tea? Get enough water? Eat too much spinach? Those are the only questions I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaserHUN Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 No I don't drink tea, I drink enough water, and haven't eaten spinach for about 2 weeks now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stcalico Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Meats and beer have high level of purine. However, soy, spinach, kale, broccoli, asparagus, lentils, kidney beans, and mushrooms also contain moderately high levels of purine. Green smoothies usually have spinach or kale included in them (to make them green). I suspect high uric acid in and of itself is not a huge issue... ie just your body's way of taking care of high purine foods. Problems arise if your body can't look after it . Are you having issues like kidney stones or gout? A quick google search and I found this on Livestrong: Normal Lab Values Uric acid levels range from 250 to 750 mg after a 24-hour collection, according to MedlinePlus. Uric acid levels also vary from day to day and may also vary seasonally. Uric acid normal ranges may vary from laboratory to laboratory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hercules Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Agree with stcalico. Stats vary, so do doctors. In the end, the only thing that matters is how you feel and whether you are able to happily and comfortably live the life you desire. If the answer is Yes, then leave the check ups alone. They are designed to make life easier for physicians, not for patients. Baby Herc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
