What to do about hyperuricemia

Hyperuricemia treatments include promoting uric acid excretion, inhibiting uric acid production, and alkalizing the urine. 1. Promote uric acid excretion: the principle is to inhibit the reabsorption of urate in the proximal renal tubules, thus increasing the excretion of uric acid and lowering the uric acid level. Commonly used drug is Benzbromarone, during the use of the drug should drink more water. 2. Inhibition of uric acid production: allopurinol through the inhibition of xanthine oxidase, so that the production of uric acid is reduced, applicable to the production of uric acid is too much or not suitable for the use of uric acid drugs. Febuxostat is a new type of selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor, because it is mainly cleared by the liver, it has higher safety in renal insufficiency and renal transplant patients. 3. Alkalize urine: Sodium bicarbonate can alkalize the urine, so that uric acid is not easy to accumulate in the urine to form crystals. Patients with hyperuricemia should consult a medical professional for diagnosis and treatment.
