The doctor said my uric acid level was higher than 6 months ago. I want to know what test that was. They sent the blood test results, but I don't know which test shows the high uric acid.

I have MCAD and almost all of the foods & drinks that can make gout worse are all things I’m allergic to or don’t have, for example I’m allergic to most seafood (not worth risking trying something new) eggs also cause a reaction and wine…I’m not allergic to I just don’t like it. Give me a glass of Ribena over wine every time 😂
