PUFAs, then?

My father (60) is suffering from gout in his feet, and the pain is particularly acute today. I've managed to convince my parents to drastically reduce their PUFA consumption, but they did eat pizza yesterday...

RP said excess phosphate is involved in gout more so than uric acid

I'm trying to work out if my uric acid levels which are above the upper limit of the reference range is something to be concerned about?
My result was 453umol/L (range 200-430)
I know Ray regards it as fundamental to our antioxidant system, but I assume there is a point of diminishing returns?
Thanks if anyone can give me their opinion :)
