In men, blood uric acid of 402 μmol/L is normal, while in women, blood uric acid of 402 μmol/L is slightly higher than normal.
Uric acid is one of the metabolic end-products of purines, and disorders of purine metabolism and/or abnormal uric acid excretion can cause elevated uric acid.
Under normal circumstances, the reference range for blood uric acid is 150-416 μmol/L in men and 89-357 μmol/L in women; therefore, blood uric acid 402 μmol/L is a normal level in men, but if this patient is a woman, the level is abnormal.
Diet, disease, heredity and medication can lead to elevated blood uric acid. Patients with slightly higher than normal blood uric acid can control uric acid through dietary adjustments and changes in bad habits, and then have their uric acid levels rechecked on a regular basis.
Patients with blood uric acid 402μmol/L can go to the endocrinology department or rheumatology department of regular hospitals for detailed consultation.
