What causes high Uric acid and low RDW?

High Uric acid and low RDW can be caused by many reasons.

If your Uric acid is in between 3.5 mg/dL and 7.2 mg/dL and your RDW is in between 11.6 % and 14 % then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Uric acid and RDW respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease Uric acid levels include:

• Liver or kidney diseases
• Bacterial infection of the kidneys (pyelonephritis)
• Inability of the kidneys to filter waste
• Alcohol abuse
