Would A High Uric Acid Level Cause Hives?
My uric acid was discovered to be 8.5 this week after suffering with a sore toe for a week....my doctor says it is gout. For years, I have had unexplained hives. All allergy test would come back negative. Would a high uric acid level cause hives?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Increased level of uric acid is not known to be associated with hives.
In some persons with recurrent episodes of hives the cause is not known. The treatment would involve: (1) antihistamines
(2)soothing the rash with calamine lotion or menthol in aqueous cream
(3)avoid general aggravating factors such as intense heat or tight clothing
I hope this helps
