The chemistry profile of 2004 is in error.
The uric acid level is reported to be 6.5 mg/dL with global risk reduction and this is in error.
The correct uric acid level following global risk reduction is 3.5 mg/dL in 2004
Elevations of uric acid levels greater than 4 mg/dL are to be considered a red flag and more agressive therapy should be initiated.
