Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hi everyone. I have a question. I just had routine tests done as part of my normal yearly checkup. I had a high uric acid count. The doctor asked if any joints hurt or my big toe (checking for " gout " ), but they don't. She said she wasn't sure why that would be elevated. She wants to recheck it in 3 months (as my cholesterol was high also) I was wondering....could this be a mito issue? I know lactic acid can be related, but I wasn't sure about uric acid. Thanks Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Sheila I don't know if this will help, but I have had a high uric acid off and on, but symptoms of gout. I was put on the gout diet the first time, but then it became normal and I have not used the diet again when it has gone up. I have several other abnormal values that come and go. laurie > > > > > > > Hi everyone. > > I have a question. > I just had routine tests done as part of my normal yearly checkup. > I had a high uric acid count. > The doctor asked if any joints hurt or my big toe (checking for " gout " ), > but > they don't. > She said she wasn't sure why that would be elevated. > She wants to recheck it in 3 months (as my cholesterol was high also) > I was wondering....could this be a mito issue? > I know lactic acid can be related, but I wasn't sure about uric acid. > > Thanks > Sheila > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
