I got tb last year and it was cured. But due to the intake of tb medicine ky uric acid increased. Medicine intake ended 6 months ago. And I am controlling foods causing uric acid to some extend. But still my uric acid level is on border 7 to 7.2 range. Will it reduce?

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. While receiving anti-tb treatment, an increase in uric acid levels of more than 8 mg/dl was accepted as ?hyperuricemia? that is a well-known side effect of pza. Patients with hyperuricemia and/or arthralgia related to therapy were analyzed for renal disease, concomitant use of loop-inhibiting diuretics. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
