Generally speaking, taking sodium bicarbonate tablets for high uric acid can’t bring it down.
Because uric acid is easy to deposit in the urinary tract caused by urate crystals and even stones, it should use alkaline drugs to neutralize uric acid, so that it is not easy to accumulate in the urine to form crystals, but eating sodium bicarbonate tablets can not make uric acid down. In addition, the long-term use of large amounts of sodium bicarbonate can also lead to metabolic alkalosis.
Lowering uric acid should use drugs that reduce uric acid production, such as allopurinol, febuxostat, etc., or use drugs that promote uric acid excretion, such as benzbromarone. Patients with high uric acid need regular testing of blood uric acid and liver and kidney function.
Patients with high uric acid are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals for detailed consultation and treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
