Question 1

My aunt is 55 years old and recently her left foot began to swell with pain. She has had this issue before, which was previously caused by raised uric acid levels, but this time her uric acid is not significantly elevated. She is also taking medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, and hypothyroidism. The pain and swelling are not improving with the medicines she previously used, including FURIC 40 for uric acid and Nucoxia 90 for pain and swelling. Her recent thyroid function test results are TSH 2.32 microIU/mL, T3 1.13 nmol/L, and T4 165.80 nmol/L. I am also uploading her lipid profile and uric acid test reports. Kindly review and advise on the possible cause and next steps for treatment.

Question 2

I got my blood report and for the past two cycles my uric acid level is high. What should I do? My SGPT is 55 which is high too. I am not an alcoholic. I drink once in two weeks or less. I do not have a family history of this.

Question 3

My test result shows a level of 165.9 mg per dL. What is the normal range for this? I eat a lot of meat, could that be the reason for this high value? What steps can I take to lower it?

I have pain in the ring finger of my left hand, and swelling starts at night and lasts until around noon. My X ray and blood tests came back normal.

Could be early arthritis or tendonitis. Try hot fomentation, hand rest, and anti inflammatory meds. Consult an orthopedician if persistent.
