Uric acid of 500 to 600 μmol/L is recommended to visit the rheumatology department for lifestyle modification and use of medication under the guidance of a doctor.
Hyperuricemia is diagnosed when fasting blood uric acid level is greater than 420μmol/L measured twice on non-simultaneous days. A uric acid level of 500-600 μmol/L suggests elevated uric acid, which can be lowered by lifestyle modification and medication.
Lifestyle adjustment is firstly to adjust the diet, to eat less animal offal such as heart, liver and kidney, seafood, broth and other high-purine food, control the total calories, avoid drinking alcohol, and suggest drinking more than 2000ml of water per day to increase uric acid excretion.
At the same time, the use of drugs to inhibit the production of uric acid, such as allopurinol, febuxostat, etc.; to promote uric acid excretion of drugs such as benzbromarone to control the level of uric acid. The above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor, do not arbitrarily adjust the dose or stop the drug. If discomfort occurs, consult a doctor in time.
It is recommended that patients with high uric acid should go to the rheumatology and immunology department in time for standardized treatment under doctor’s guidance, and at the same time, they should go to the hospital regularly for rechecking the uric acid level and pay attention to the long-term management.
