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.

Uric acid can rise with high protein, dehydration, and purine rich foods (like spinach, mushrooms). Keto diets and weight loss mobilize fat, increasing uric acid. Stay well hydrated, reduce high purine veggies and seeds, and monitor uric acid regularly.
