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?

Uric acid 165.9 mg per dL is well above the normal 3 to 7 mg per dL range. Please check if the unit is correct. If it really is uric acid, heavy red meat intake and dehydration can push it up. Cut meat, alcohol, and hydrate. Get retest to confirm.
