Have High Uric Acid Level And Spine Cracking Sensation While Sleeping. Does It Refer To Kidney Stones Or Fatty Liver?
Hello, I feel something weird in my back especially when i m lying down sleeping on my side and twisted, if I trace it, it seems like it s at my kidney area and liver area. when I also do side planks at the gym the liver part of my rib aches. May I know if I possibly have kidney stones and some gallstones or fatty liver what are the general sign that I have it? I had my blood checked and everything is normal except my Uric Acid (7.2). Also when I twist my body to some extent my spine usually cracks is this normal?

Hi
Thanks for your query.
While your symptoms are not suggestive of kidney stones or fatty liver, I would recommend an ultrasound of the abdomen to confirm the diagnosis one way or the other.
Please consult a physician for elevated uric acid. You will need a diet review and possibly medications like febuxostat.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
