Elevated uric acid symptoms, Hyperuricemia. A hyperuricemic response occurs when the body’s uric acid level is elevated. Symptoms can occur at a level higher than 6.8 mg/dL, and anything over 7 mg/dL is considered saturation. A further increase in uric acid production, a decrease in excretion, or a combination of the two processes may result in this elevated level.
The presence of high uric acid levels can lead to a variety of health problems over time, including a painful type of arthritis. Several other health conditions are associated with high uric acid levels, including heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease.
