Whether blood uric acid 490μmol/L is serious or not cannot be generalized. For asymptomatic people, blood uric acid 490μmol/L is generally not serious, and blood uric acid levels can be lowered by improving lifestyle; however, when symptoms occur, such as gout, accompanied by coronary heart disease and renal impairment, blood uric acid 490μmol/L will be relatively serious.
Any factor that causes an increase in uric acid production or a decrease in uric acid excretion within the body will cause an increase in blood uric acid levels. Normal blood uric acid levels for men are 150~416 μmol/L, and for women are 89~357 μmol/L. Blood uric acid 490 μmol/L suggests that the blood uric acid is elevated, and may be hyperuricemia.
It is impossible to generalize whether the condition of patients with blood uric acid 490μmol/L is serious. For patients without any symptoms, the condition is generally not serious, and the blood uric acid level in the body can be lowered by drinking more water, eating a low purine diet, and exercising appropriately to prevent the deposition of urate crystals.
Patients who have gout attacks, joint swelling and pain and other obvious symptoms, suggesting that the condition is relatively serious. The disease will not only cause one to be unable to walk normally due to joint pain, but the development of the disease may also cause kidney function damage, hypertension, coronary heart disease, etc., and may even jeopardize one’s life.
If the test found that the blood uric acid 490μmol / L, it is recommended to consult the doctor in a timely manner, and actively cooperate with the doctor to intervene in the treatment.
