A uric acid level of 461 μmol/L is a condition of elevated blood uric acid, which requires maintaining healthy lifestyle and dietary habits, such as choosing a low purine diet, and medication if necessary.
Hyperuricemia is diagnosed when the uric acid level in the blood is greater than 420 μmol/L on two or more consecutive occasions on different days (for both men and women). Patients diagnosed with hyperuricemia should first pay attention to correcting poor dietary habits in daily life.
Adhere to a low purine diet, drink more water, eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, drink low-fat milk or yogurt food, especially pay attention to do not eat animal offal, do not consume too much seafood, do not drink alcohol and drink fructose-rich drinks.
Because hyperuricemia is directly related to insulin resistance caused by weight gain, for those who are overweight, it is recommended to adhere to appropriate exercise to reduce weight, which also helps to improve the metabolic syndrome. If uric acid cannot be reduced to normal through changes in diet, exercise and other lifestyle habits, medication can be used.
Drugs for hyperuricemia include drugs that inhibit uric acid production (e.g. Febuxostat, Allopurinol), drugs that promote uric acid excretion (e.g. Benzbromarone), and drugs that alkalize urine (e.g. Sodium Bicarbonate), but all of the above drugs have certain side effects, such as liver and kidney damage, digestive damage, etc., and they need to be used under the guidance of a physician.
If the level of uric acid in the blood is found to be increased, you should consult the rheumatology and immunology department of a regular hospital, and standardize the diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a physician.
