Question 1

Knee get swollen repeatedly, doctors effused that fluid every time. Recently effusion were done 15 days before and again swelling appeared. No test report shows any positive result of arthritis, we have done HLA test too. What to do? Father is on medication taking pain killers.

Question 2

Hi, I am 37 years old and have uric acid levels around 6.5 to 8 mg/dl with ups and downs. I generally take Zyloric 100 mg twice a day. My test reports are as follows: on 12th July 7 mg/dl, on 23rd July 6.01 mg/dl (while taking Zyloric 100 mg twice a day), and on 18th August 9.5 mg/dl. Creatinine is 1.01 mg/dl.
I have recently lost 12 kg in the last 50 days through diet and exercise. During the last two reports, I was on a keto diet with over 90 percent vegetarian food. I am confused about why my uric acid has risen. I consumed spinach, mushrooms, paneer, cauliflower, and other vegetables three times a week, along with flax seeds, chia seeds, and watermelon seeds. Some sources say spinach and mushrooms can raise uric acid, while others say they do not.
I am finding it difficult to control my uric acid without identifying the reason. Could you please guide me on how to control it and suggest remedies? Thank you.

Question 3

Hello Doctor. My uric acid was high in my last test report done a month ago. I am taking Febutas 40 for it. Can I drink lemon water every day? I used to have it, but now I am not sure whether it is good or bad for high uric acid. Please advise. Thanks.

According to my lab report, my uric acid level is 7.3. I would like to know how to lower my uric acid level and manage it effectively.

This is mildly raised and can be managed through a low purine diet (avoid red meat, organ meat, alcohol), hydration, and regular exercise. Medication may be added if levels stay high.
