Everyone has naturally occurring uric acid in his or her body. Uric acid is created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Purines are found in body tissues as well as some foods and drinks. Having too much uric acid in the body causes gout. A healthy uric acid level is below 6 mg/dL. Your doctor can test your uric acid level a few weeks after a gout flare to see if you might be at risk for additional gout flares. Gout may cause repeated flares.
