Causes:
Most of the time, a high uric acid level occurs when your kidneys don't eliminate uric acid efficiently. Things that may cause this slow-down in the removal ofuric acid include rich foods, being overweight, having diabetes, taking certain diuretics (sometimes called water pills) and drinking too much alcohol.

Hope it's helpful

Factors that may cause a high uric acid level in your blood include:


Diuretics (water retention relievers)

Drinking too much alcohol

Genetics (inherited tendencies)

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)

Immune-suppressing drugs

Niacin, or vitamin B-3

Obesity

Psoriasis

Purine-rich diet — liver, game meat, anchovies, sardines, gravy, dried beans and peas, mushrooms, and other foods

Renal insufficiency (inability of the kidneys to filter waste)

Tumor lysis syndrome (a rapid release of cells into the blood caused by certain cancers or by chemotherapy for those cancers)

Also, you may be monitored for high uric acid levels when undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer.
