I am a 30 year old healthy male and have been experiencing some joint pain. My recent test results are as follows: ASO is 199 IU/ml, RA factor is 2.1 IU/ml, Hemoglobin is 14.7 gm, TSH is 1.53 IU/ml, Fasting Plasma Glucose is 98 mg/dl, and Uric Acid is 7.7 mg/dl. I would like to know if I need to start medication for uric acid, or if it can be managed with lifestyle changes.

ASO suggests recent streptococcal infection. Uric acid is borderline. Start lifestyle changes and repeat Uric Acid after 1 month. Also check CRP and ESR for inflammation.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Uric Acid Test Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test
