The recovery time for patients with 500umol/L uric acid varies depending on the cause of the increased uric acid, and is also related to whether or not the patient is actively treated. The normal value of uric acid for adult men is 149-416umol/L and for women is 89-357umol/L. A uric acid test of 500umol/L is usually a mild to moderate increase. There are many reasons for the increase of uric acid, such as the patient likes to eat high purine food such as seafood or animal offal everyday, which may cause the increase of uric acid. Through low purine diet and drinking more water, most people can generally return to normal uric acid value after 2-8 weeks. However, if the patient has high uric acid and joint swelling and pain, the patient is usually suffering from gout and needs pain relief and uric acid lowering treatment according to the patient’s symptoms, and the uric acid usually starts to drop after taking medication for about 2-4 weeks. In addition, patients with increased uric acid can also be combined with other metabolic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, and the recovery time is relatively long, about 6-12 months, and some patients need long-term use of uric acid-lowering drugs. Patients are advised to go to the hospital for regular review to keep an eye on uric acid levels in addition to treatment and diet control so that the dosage of uric acid-lowering drugs can be adjusted in a timely manner.
