Normal values for blood uric acid are slightly different for men and women. The normal values for uric acid in adult females are usually 89-357 μmol/L, and in adult males, 150-416 μmol/L. Hyperuricemia is defined as a fasting blood uric acid value greater than 420 μmol/L on two separate occasions not taken on the same day.
Hyperuricemia is defined as a fasting blood uric acid value greater than 420 μmol/L measured twice on non-simultaneous days, and gout should be considered if hyperuricemia is combined with joint inflammation such as sudden onset of redness, swelling and heat pain in a single joint.
Long-term increase in uric acid may also lead to metabolic syndrome, resulting in abnormalities in blood lipids, blood pressure, blood glucose and other indicators, and may lead to urinary tract stones, renal insufficiency and other conditions.
The causes of increased uric acid mainly include genetic factors, excessive purine intake, excretion disorders, etc., mostly associated with obesity, long-term unhealthy habits and long-term high-purine diet.
The most effective way to keep uric acid under control is to maintain healthy living and eating habits. It is recommended to consult the rheumatology and immunology department in time, and carry out standardized uric acid lowering treatment under the guidance of doctors.
