Uric Acid & Gout Level Checker
Enter your blood uric-acid level and sex to see your hyperuricemia stage, gout risk, and a purine-lowering diet guide.
🩸 Enter Uric Acid
Enter the 'Uric acid' value from your blood test report. You can adjust it with the slider.
Classification thresholds
- 👨 Male: normal 3.5–7.0 / borderline 7.0–8.0 / hyperuricemia 8.0–9.0 / urgent 9.0+ mg/dL
- 👩 Female: normal 2.5–6.0 / borderline 6.0–7.0 / hyperuricemia 7.0–8.0 / urgent 8.0+ mg/dL
- 🎯 Treatment target: gout / hyperuricemia aims for uric acid < 6.0 mg/dL (< 5.0 for tophi)
- 🔄 Unit: 1 mg/dL = 59.48 μmol/L, converted automatically
📊 Result
6.5 mg/dL
= 387 μmol/L
Uric acid is within the normal range. Gout risk is low. Note that flares can still occur at normal levels, so see a doctor if you have joint symptoms.
Normal range
3.5–7 mg/dL
Male
Gout risk grade
No risk
Within sex threshold
⚠️ This is not a medical diagnosis. A single uric-acid value cannot diagnose gout; consult a physician for an accurate evaluation.
🥗 Diet Guide to Lower Uric Acid
Purines break down into uric acid in the body. Below is a classification by approximate purine content per 100 g of food.
🚫 Avoid (high purine)
Foods that raise uric acid sharply. Cut these especially if hyperuricemic.
- Dried anchovy· Highest purine among dried fish411 mg/100g
- Herring378 mg/100g
- Sardine345 mg/100g
- Mackerel· Oily fish194 mg/100g
- Shrimp234 mg/100g
- Beef liver / organ meat· Organ meats are very high220 mg/100g
- Fish roe200 mg/100g
- Mussel250 mg/100g
- Crab152 mg/100g
- Bone / meat broth· Purines concentrate in the broth150 mg/100g
- Beer· Low purine but alcohol blocks uric-acid excretion14 mg/100g
⚠️ Occasional (moderate)
Small amounts only; avoid overeating.
- Pork145 mg/100g
- Chicken137 mg/100g
- Beef133 mg/100g
- Mushroom92 mg/100g
- Oyster90 mg/100g
- Soybean / tofu· Plant purines are weakly linked to gout68 mg/100g
- Spinach57 mg/100g
- Asparagus50 mg/100g
✅ Recommended (low purine / helpful)
Foods that help excrete or manage uric acid.
- Water· 2 L+ per day promotes uric-acid excretion0 mg/100g
- Low-fat milk· Helps lower uric acid0 mg/100g
- Yogurt0 mg/100g
- Egg5 mg/100g
- Cherry· Linked to lower uric acid in studies5 mg/100g
- Coffee· Moderate intake lowers gout risk0 mg/100g
- Most vegetables15 mg/100g
