If the elevated uric acid is simple, hyperuricemia should be considered, and you can go to the endocrinology department for examination and treatment. If uric acid is elevated and there is also joint swelling and pain, gout should be considered as a possible cause, and you should go to the rheumatology department of the hospital for examination and treatment. Uric acid is produced by the oxidation of purine substances in the body. It may be caused by a disorder of purine metabolism or a high purine diet before the examination, such as drinking alcohol, meat soup or seafood products. Further examination is needed to clarify the cause, and according to the specific situation of elevated uric acid, drugs to inhibit uric acid production or drugs to promote uric acid excretion should be selected for treatment. It is recommended to visit the hospital for examination and treatment with drugs after the cause is clear.
