Yes. Hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels) is a relatively common finding in patients treated with a loop or thiazide diuretic and may, over a period of time, lead to gout.

Hydrochlorothiazide is used for the treatment of high blood pressure and fluid retention. It is a type of diuretic that works by increasing the amount of salt and water that the kidneys remove from the blood, which causes a decrease in blood volume.
Hydrochlorothiazide causing high uric acid and gout you need to check this with the doc/pharmacist, please.
Take care, best wishes!
