Can water help clear uric acid? Does it lower it's concentration?

Edit - Just called my brother - a GP. Mentioned the drug Allopurinol as a low cost method to keep uric acid at bay. Also mentioned diet options which can be found on line. Mentioned water can help depending on if you are either a high producer or low secreter of uric acid. Low secreter will not have the same impact as a high producer with hydration. It dilutes the uric acid to the point that it will not crystallize.
