There is a gender difference in the normal value of serum uric acid concentration, ranging from 150 to 416 μmol/L in men and 89 to 357 μmol/L in women.
Uric acid is a metabolite of purine in the body, which can come from the body or from the catabolism of purine in food. The liver is the main site of uric acid production, the normal blood uric acid level is 150~416μmol/L in men and 89~357μmol/L in women, the blood uric acid concentration is mainly affected by the glomerular filtration function and renal tubular absorption function.
When the serum uric acid concentration increases, it suggests that the glomerular filtration function may be impaired or the body’s uric acid production is abnormal, mostly seen in acute glomerulonephritis, hyperuricemia and other diseases. When the serum uric acid concentration decreases, it suggests that the renal tubular absorption function is impaired or hepatic function is impaired, mostly seen in renal tubular acidosis, hepatomegaly.
It is recommended that patients with abnormal blood uric acid go to the hospital in time to avoid delay.
