There several drugs used to reduce uric acid. Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors, such as allopurinol work by decreasing the amount of uric acid produced by the body. Allopurinol is usually prescribed for patients who produce excessive amounts of uric acid in their body ("overproducers"). Uricosuric Agents, such as probenecid or sulfinpyrazone, work by helping the kidneys get rid of the excess uric acid produced in the body. Uricosuric agents are usually prescribed for patients whose kidneys cannot eliminate uric acid from the body ("underexcreters").

In recent years it has been found that normal ranges of uric acid fluctuate widely. as a result of uric acid levels showing day to day and seasonal variations in the sameindividual, several uric acids levels may be required over a given period. Urine uric acid levels may also be used to evaluate gout or determine over secretion of uric acid.Reference values: Serum Uric AcidAdult males: 2.0 - 7.5 mg/dlAdult females: 2.0 - 6.5 mg/dl; in early pregnancy uric acid levels fall by about one third but rise to non pregnant levels by termChildren (ages 10-18)Males: 3.6 - 5.5 mg/dl; significant rise in males at ages 12-14 coincides with puberty.Females: 3.6 - 4 mg/dlElderly:Males older than 40: 2 - 8.5 mg/dlFemales older than 40: 2 - 8.0 mg/dl; rise in women related to menopauseThe normal range for urinary uric acid is between 250 - 750 mg over a 24-hour period. Uric acid levels tend to vary day to day. It is also important to check the laboratory reference values for each work setting.An elevated blood uric acid level, also known as hyperuricemia, is seen in:GoutAlcoholismDehydrationLeukemia and lymphomaStarvationMetabolic acidosisToxemia of pregnancyRenal disease and renal failureInfectious mononucleosisHyperlipidemiaHemolytic anemia
