Blood uric acid 510 μmol/L is significantly higher than the upper limit of the normal range, and if this patient has simple elevated uric acid, the condition is less serious. If the patient has developed complications such as gout, gouty nephropathy, or a combination of cardiovascular risk factors, the condition is relatively serious and requires active treatment.
Hyperuricemia is diagnosed by fasting blood uric acid levels >420 µmol/L on two occasions not on the same day on a daily diet. Therefore, the patient’s blood uric acid 510µmol/L was considered elevated. The severity of the patient’s condition with high uric acid should be judged in conjunction with whether or not gout, gout stones, and other complications occur in that patient.
If the patient with 510μmol/L blood uric acid has not yet developed complications and has not been combined with cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes, etc., and only simple uric acid is elevated, the condition is generally less serious. If the patient has gout, gouty nephropathy and other complications or cardiovascular risk factors, the condition is relatively serious and requires active treatment.
It is recommended that patients with 510 μmol/L uric acid should go to the rheumatology and immunology department or endocrinology department of regular hospitals for detailed consultation.
