Risks...

Pretty much first it's an indication of high turnover of cells and indication of some problem in metabolism / system ..

High uric acid can precipitate severe gaout if not controlled in right time.

U run the risk of having kidney stones

This is not something one should neglect and sleep over it....

Not trying to scare but one should give a wake up call to oneself...

had no idea that uric acid symptons can emerge early and at young ages too.was browsing and thot this might be useful:

alan,

looks like spinach,mushroom,dried peas, also have high purine content and so has to be moderately taken for uric acid.but cheer up!! there are countless vegetables and cereals u can choose from even if they don't appear to be the standard ones.and i was glad to see that for once the disfavoured potato is not the bad guy here.(i hope!)
