Increased uric acid levels can lead to conditions such as gout and kidney stones. The body produces excess uric acid, which can crystallize in joints, causing pain and inflammation. Additionally, the kidneys may struggle to filter the uric acid, leading to the formation of kidney stones. Managing uric acid levels through diet, medication, and lifestyle changes can help alleviate symptoms.
