Blood uric acid of 496 μmol/L is usually serious and needs to be lowered by lifestyle modification and medication to avoid serious complications such as gouty arthritis, gouty stones, and gouty nephropathy.
A blood uric acid concentration greater than 420 μmol/L in fasting plasma on two occasions not on the same day is called hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia without active intervention may lead to serious complications such as gouty arthritis, gouty stones, gouty nephropathy, and other serious complications. Hyperuricemia requires lifestyle modification, medication and other methods to reduce blood uric acid levels.
1. Lifestyle adjustment. Patients with high uric acid levels are recommended to have a low purine diet, avoiding high purine foods such as seafood, animal offal, and concentrated meat broth. Drink plenty of water to promote uric acid excretion. Abstain from alcohol. At the same time, reduce weight and exercise appropriately.
2. For patients whose blood uric acid is still high through lifestyle adjustments, it is necessary to use drugs to reduce uric acid production or promote uric acid excretion under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. Clinical can follow the doctor’s advice to choose benzbromarone, febuxostat, allopurinol and other drugs.
For patients with high blood uric acid, it is recommended to consult the rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals, and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
