A uric acid level of 513 μmol/L is serious and requires the initiation of uric acid-lowering therapy as prescribed by your doctor.
Normally, a diagnosis of hyperuricemia is made when the uric acid level in fasting blood is greater than 420 μmol/L on two consecutive tests not on the same day. Gout develops when uric acid levels in the blood continue to increase and urate crystals appear and are deposited in peripheral joints and surrounding tissues.
There is a relationship between gout attacks and the concentration of uric acid in the body. The higher the uric acid level, the greater the likelihood of developing gout, and hyperuricemia is the basis for gout attacks.
A uric acid level of 513 μmol/L is more serious and requires the initiation of a uric acid-lowering medication regimen. Drugs that inhibit uric acid production can be prescribed Allopurinol or Febuxostat, and drugs that promote uric acid metabolism can be prescribed Benzbromarone, Probenecid, and so on.
For patients with hyperuricemia or gout, it is recommended to consult the rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals for diagnosis and treatment.
