Why track uric acid?

In gout, the goal of uric-acid-lowering medicine (such as allopurinol or febuxostat) is to keep uric acid below a target — usually below 6 mg/dL (about 360 µmol/L), or below 5 mg/dL in more severe gout — so that urate crystals slowly dissolve. Attacks can still happen in the first months of treatment; that does not mean the medicine is failing.

Targets follow the 2016 EULAR and 2020 American College of Rheumatology gout management guidelines. See also: Gout · Gout diet.

This is a self-help tool, not a diagnosis. It helps you keep track and talk to your doctor. If you feel very unwell, have a high fever, chest pain, sudden weakness or vision loss, seek medical care straight away.

Common questions

What uric acid level should I aim for?+

For people with gout on treatment, the usual target is below 6 mg/dL (about 360 µmol/L), and below 5 mg/dL if there are tophi or severe gout. Your doctor sets your target.

Why am I still getting attacks when my uric acid is lower?+

In the first months of uric-acid-lowering treatment, crystals are dissolving and attacks can briefly become more frequent. Doctors often give a preventive medicine (such as low-dose colchicine) during this phase. Don't stop the treatment.

Can I convert µmol/L to mg/dL here?+

Yes — choose µmol/L when you enter a result and it is converted automatically (divide by 59.48). There is also a separate unit converter.
