What level of uric acid is dangerous in females?

Apurwa Amit

Uric acid is a natural waste product caused by the digestion of foods containing purines. Purines are found in high levels in some foods and are formed and broken down in your body.

 Normal uric acid levels range from 3.4 to 7.0 mg/dL for males and 2.4 to 6.0 mg/dL for females.

 High uric acid levels for females are considered above 6.0 mg/dL.

 Elevated levels can lead to an increased risk of health issues like gout and kidney stones.

 Uric acid levels exceeding 6.0 mg/dL in females are a cause for concern.

 Levels above 10 mg/dL are critical and require immediate medical attention.

Regular monitoring of uric acid levels through blood tests is crucial for females.

Seeking guidance from a healthcare provider can help manage and prevent complications associated with high uric acid levels.
