Can exercise lower uric acid

Reasonable exercise is helpful for patients to reduce uric acid levels, but does not have a therapeutic effect. Lowering uric acid still needs to rely on long-term oral uric acid-lowering drugs, such as febuxostat, allopurinol and benzbromarone. Reasonable exercise of appropriate intensity can help obese patients control their weight and reduce the risk of hyperuricemia, but irrational high-intensity exercise may lead to protein and fat are also involved in energy metabolism to produce pyruvate, which will increase the level of uric acid in the body. Reasonable exercise of moderate intensity is helpful for patients to reduce uric acid levels, such as playing tai chi, badminton, brisk walking, etc., but you can’t rely solely on exercise to treat the disease. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time for early and regular treatment of elevated uric acid.
