High level Uric Acid

Elevated uric acid levels, also known as hyperuricemia, can be a sign of a medical condition called gout or kidney disease. It can also be caused by certain medications or lifestyle factors such as a diet high in purines.

If you have elevated uric acid levels, it is important to consult a physician for further evaluation and treatment. Depending on the underlying cause, your physician may recommend lifestyle changes, medication, or other treatments to lower your uric acid levels.

As for your question regarding your medical examination for becoming a professional pilot, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has specific medical requirements that must be met in order to obtain a medical certificate.

According to the FAA, gout is disqualifying condition as it may impair the ability to safely operate an aircraft. If you have gout, you will not be able to meet the medical standards for a first-class medical certificate.
