High blood uric acid only through lifestyle intervention, no medication is also possible to recover, but depending on the specific condition, if the criteria for the use of drugs should be used.
The normal level of blood uric acid should be <420μmol/L. Both men and women, if the fasting blood uric acid >420μmol/L on two occasions other than the same day, it is called hyperuricemia.
In general, when hyperuricemia without other comorbidities, uric acid ≥ 540 μmol / L need to start uric acid-lowering drug therapy. However, when combined with hypertension, abnormal lipid metabolism, diabetes mellitus and other comorbidities, uric acid ≥480 μmol/L should start medication.
If you don’t meet the above indications for medication, you can first lower uric acid by adjusting your lifestyle, such as controlling total calorie intake, limiting alcohol consumption, reducing intake of high-purine foods such as animal offal and seafood, and drinking more water every day to increase uric acid excretion.
However, not everyone can achieve ideal control without medication and lifestyle adjustments alone, and blood uric acid levels should be monitored over time. If lifestyle interventions are not effective in controlling uric acid levels, in order to avoid complications such as gouty arthritis and uric acid nephropathy caused by poor control of blood uric acid, timely consultation should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor for standardized drug therapy.
