Uric acid 280μmol/L gout stones will usually start to dissolve.
Usually uric acid below 300 μmol / L gout stone will begin to dissolve, so for the formation of gout stone patients, need to control the uric acid level between 180 to 300 μmol / L, but uric acid is not the lower the better, uric acid is too low may also have dementia and other problems.
But not after the uric acid level reaches the standard, the gout stone immediately begins to dissolve uric acid, the uric acid level has to be maintained at the above level for a longer period of time before the gout stone can be dissolved. Gout stones with short formation time and small size can be completely eliminated, while those with large size and long formation time can only be reduced in size, and it is more difficult to eliminate them completely.
It is recommended that gout patients go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor to standardize the treatment, to control the uric acid level within the appropriate range.
