What to do if uric acid is always high

Uric acid is produced by the oxidation of purine substances in the body. Long-term hyperuricemia is associated with the risk of gout and uric acid kidney stones, so it is necessary to actively lower uric acid. Strictly control your diet, such as do not drink alcohol, do not eat seafood, do not drink meat soup, do not eat animal offal and meat containing too much purine. It is also important to drink more water to promote the excretion of uric acid. If the uric acid cannot be controlled in the normal range through diet, medication should be considered. Blood uric acid and 24-hour uric acid can be further examined to identify the specific type of increased uric acid. Depending on the results of the tests, medications that inhibit uric acid production or promote uric acid excretion should be selected for treatment. The results of the tests should be reviewed regularly to evaluate the effectiveness of the medication.
