Brief Answer:
Your serum Uric acid levels are marginally raised

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted you have undergone surgery for removal of kidney stone in 2019 and have noticed your serum Uric acid levels to be 7.5 mg which is slightly higher than normal range of 7.2 mg .

Since your stone removed previously was not analysed for it's chemical composition it is uncertain whether it was uric acid stone or other type of stone .

Take anti uric acid medication like Tab Fabulas once daily .

Avoid eating food like Rajma which leads to raise uric acid levels in blood .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
