<bot>: Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. The Uric acid of 6.5 is within normal limits.  Normal levels are 3.6 - 8.5 mg/DL. If you still want to reduce, you can follow the next few thing.2. Increase fluid intake and avoid alcohol3. Check for medications like beta blockers, etc. They can also contribute to raised levels of uric acid.4. Avoid caffeine containing beverages, mushrooms, legumes, and organ meats. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
