Hyperuricemia is the basis for the development of gout, but elevated blood uric acid alone is not the same as gout, which must be accompanied by the precipitation and deposition of urate crystals. Therefore, the blood uric acid value can only reflect the level of uric acid in the patient’s blood, and the diagnosis of gout cannot be confirmed by the blood uric acid value alone, because gout requires the deposition of uric acid crystals and the appearance of corresponding symptoms. Generally speaking, the blood uric acid level for men is about 149 to 416umol/L and for women is about 89 to 357umol/L. If it is higher than the above level for a long time, it is hyperuricemia. Patients with simple elevated blood uric acid can have no uncomfortable performance and only have persistent or fluctuating elevation of blood uric acid. Many patients do not even know that their blood uric acid is elevated if they do not have a blood test. If there is a long-term elevation of blood uric acid, it may lead to gout, and the higher the blood uric acid level, the greater the likelihood of a gout attack. In addition, whether or not a gout attack occurs is related to a variety of factors such as gender, age, and dietary habits. Patients with hyperuricemia are at high risk for gout attacks. Once elevated blood uric acid is detected, it is important to seek immediate medical attention, either through diet, exercise or medication, to ensure that blood uric acid levels are at normal levels and prevent gout attacks.
