A uric acid level of 9 indicates that your current Zyloric 100 mg dose may not be enough. Please consult your doctor to review your treatment, as they may adjust the dose or suggest alternative medications to control uric acid levels better.

Kidney stones are hard, crystalline deposits that form in the urinary tract when minerals and salts in the urine become concentrated and clump together. They can cause severe flank or back pain, blood in the urine (hematuria), nausea, and sometimes difficulty passing urine. Prevention mainly involves staying well hydrated, reducing intake of excess salt and certain foods (such as those high in oxalate), and maintaining a balanced diet to lower the risk of stone formation.
