Hello doctor please help me understand what cause high uric acid, it's for my mother. What is the right diet for her to help reduce the high uric acid.

Question

Hello, uric acid increases in the body due to incomplete metabolism of proteins. This can be due to chronic digestive disturbances or liver and kidney related problems. In homoepathy we refer to it as gouty diathesis and the primary cause is increased acidity levels in the body. To help her reduce uric acid levels. She must increase her water intake provided her kidneys are working well and other kidney related parameters are normal. Uric acid is water soluble and more water intake helps in its excretion. She must reduce her daily protein intake specially legumes, avoid fried and spicy food and take more of fresh fruits and vegetables. Mild exercises, paranayam can also help if her age permits. Also please give her medication for the same.
