Yes, high uric acid can definitely form stones in the kidneys. My son faced this issue, and the doctor told us to give him plenty of water and restrict high-purine foods like spinach and cauliflower.

Don't ignore high uric acid reports, otherwise you will have severe back pain from stones. Go to a doctor, get the required medicine, and drink at least 3 liters of water every single day.

My uncle had crazy pain last month due to uric acid stones. He had to be rushed to the clinic. Please drink lots of water and get it checked before the pain gets bad.

It absolutely does. If your uric acid is high and you aren't drinking enough water, crystals will deposit in your kidneys. Cut down on beer and heavy non-veg meals immediately and see a urologist.

Yes, a high-purine diet makes the urine very acidic, leading to uric acid stones. Try to limit high-protein dals and certain green veggies like spinach, and consult a dietician for a safe meal plan.
