How to cure high uric acid

The treatment of high uric acid is divided into two aspects: on the one hand, through lifestyle and dietary modifications, and on the other hand, through medication. Uric acid is an indicator of kidney function and reflects the metabolic state of purines in the body. The uric acid in the body comes partly from food absorption and partly from the body’s own metabolism. In terms of diet, we should pay attention not to drink alcohol, especially white wine and beer, and eat less seafood, animal offal, fish with skin, animal food and some beans, all of which tend to increase the absorption of uric acid in the body. In terms of drug treatment, one part is drugs that reduce absorption and promote excretion, such as benzbromarone; the other part is drugs that reduce uric acid production, such as allopurinol. Through these combined regimens, the body’s uric acid can be brought down to a level. The danger of uric acid to the body is not only recurrent attacks of gouty arthritis, but also susceptibility to urinary stones and joint or subcutaneous gout stone formation. Therefore it should still be actively treated.”
