What are the ways to lower high uric acid

Usually, high uric acid can be lowered by dietary modification and medication (e.g., benzbromarone). Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism, mainly produced by the cell metabolism of the breakdown of nucleic acids and other purine compounds and purines in food by the action of enzymes. The saturation concentration of uric acid in the body is about 420µmol/L at 37°C. Above this concentration, urate forms crystals that are deposited in a variety of tissues, including the kidneys and synovial membranes of joints, causing tissue damage. Fasting blood uric acid >420µmol/L on two occasions not on the same day is currently defined as hyperuricemia. Uric acid can be lowered by diet and medication (e.g., benzbromarone). 1. Dietary modification: pay attention to personal dietary habits, try to avoid high purine food, such as animal offal, thick meat soup, seafood, etc., can be appropriate intake of fresh vegetables and fruits, etc., and drink more than 2000 ml of water per day to increase the excretion of uric acid. 2. Medication: medication can be taken under the guidance of a doctor to reduce blood uric acid, such as the uric acid excretion drug benzbromarone, etc., inhibit the production of uric acid drugs such as allopurinol, febuxostat and so on. Usually also need to appropriate exercise, drink more water, more excretion, in order to promote the body uric acid discharge. If the blood uric acid is found to be elevated, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the diagnosis and treatment.
