Young people with blood uric acid 490μmol/L usually need treatment, the specific treatment includes dietary adjustments, uric acid-lowering medication.
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism, when the body temperature is 37 ℃, the saturation concentration of uric acid is about 420 μmol / L. When the concentration of uric acid exceeds this concentration, urate can form crystals, which are deposited in several tissues, causing tissue damage. Therefore, when the blood uric acid concentration is greater than 420 μmol/L, it is elevated blood uric acid and usually requires treatment.
Dietary adjustments can reduce uric acid production, such as limiting alcohol consumption and limiting high-purine foods (animal offal, seafood). Drinking large amounts of water can increase the excretion of uric acid.
Uric acid-lowering drugs include drugs that promote uric acid excretion (benzbromarone) and drugs that inhibit uric acid production (allopurinol). By lowering blood uric acid, disease damage is reduced.
Young people with hyperuricemia, it is recommended to seek medical attention in a timely manner, drugs need to be used under the guidance of a professional doctor, do not self-medication.
