Seriously? Mejo mataas ang uric acid ko kasi acidic ako (Highschool pa lang). Nag pa blood chem ako last February at yun nga yung nakita ng doctor. Pero sabi naman nya is intake lang ng a lot of fluids yun. Pero sana wala lang yun!
Ang iniiwasan naman sa medicals is finding out any symptoms or results that lead to conditions falling under medical inadmissibility or refusal based on health grounds. So there are two main (and broad" reasons for refusal:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/medic/admiss/index.asp
An applicant may be refused on health grounds – if their condition:
is likely to be a danger to public health or public safety, or
might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services
Ang common example nyan is TB. TB is termed still as a public health issue - considering na communicable ito. A person having active TB is seen as a danger to public health (danger of transmitting the disease to the general population). So if nakita sa results ng medical na active ang TB ng isang applicant, malaki ang possibility na ma-refuse based on health grounds. Kaya madaming ginagawang follow-up if me nakitang traces of TB - at madalas papasok sa medical furtherance ang nakitaan ng TB.
Now another example, if me symptoms ka na leading to discovery of a condition like - lets say leukemia/forms of aggressive cancer or major diseases - then managing this may cost more than what is the threshold per person per year - and maaring papasok ka sa refusal based on excessive demand to health and social services. Note sa example dito - hindi naman danger sa public health ang pagkakaroon ng cancer, pero malaki naman ang demands sa public health services para mai-manage/magamot ito - lalo na kung kinakailangan ng specialized treatment/experimental procedures.
So yung mga symptoms or findings - like high uric acid, etc., me mga limits yan. Maaring high ang uric acid, pero not high enough to indicate me posibilidad na me iba pang sakit at kailangan ng added tests para ma-rule out ito.
Ideal is no signicant findings ang result sa clinic after mag-medical, hindi significant enough leading to refusal on health grounds.
