UA level test received
I am certain I have a mild case of gout. My right big toe hurts and
the skin gets red for a few days, especially after drinking, stress, or
eating beef. I talked to my doctor about it on May 1st, he put me on
allopurinol and ordered blood tests. I got the results back today,
according to the chart that came with the test my Uric Acid levels
should be between 3.8 and 8.5 MG per DL. My test level was 8.1, and I
made sure to not start taking allo until after the blood was drawn.
Could this just be that the test occurred during a normal fluctuation
down in my UA level, or could it mean something else?
