With regards to gout, I don't think it's symptomatic: actual uric acid crystals are causing the inflammation that is called gout. The crystals are deposited when the serum level of UA goes above ~400umol/l.

But it's fascinating to hear your story, where you have high UA serum but no gout attack. Were you on 300mg allo or more?

With Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease, there is much uncertainty, agreed!
