&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Sodium urate crystals are often secondary to liver disease, they recommend liver biochemistry and they adv always run Bile Acid Stim.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Urinary tract infections often lead to urate crystals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Increase water intake, ideally wet K/D.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ideal SG 1.030, ideal pH 6.7 - 6.8 If struggling to keep pH within limits then try supplementation with Potassium Citrate.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;No reported time of cessation of symptoms, vary massively between patients. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
