Whether it is adults or children, uric acid higher than 420μmol / L, can be diagnosed with hyperuricemia, so children’s uric acid 500μmol / L more, is considered to be relatively high, should be taken seriously.
Hyperuricemia is due to abnormal purine metabolism, when the body produces too much uric acid, or when the kidney excretory capacity decreases, the body’s uric acid level will increase, causing hyperuricemia. Common causes in children include over-obesity, poor diet, disease factors, genetic factors, etc.
Compared to adults, the incidence of hyperuricemia in children is low. If the blood uric acid is higher than 500μmol/L, attention should be paid to it, especially when there are genetic factors, and long-term hyperuricemia may cause kidney failure or even uremia.
In short, children with increased uric acid, we should promptly look for the causes, such as excessive obesity, improper diet, should be active weight loss, diet, oral medication if necessary, such as allopurinol, if necessary, pediatric consultation, to take targeted treatment.
