High uric acid without gout symptoms does not necessarily have to be treated with medication; lifestyle interventions can be carried out first, and medication is needed if the desired level is still not achieved.
Fasting blood uric acid levels greater than 420 μmol / L on two non-same days is called hyperuricemia, if there is no other symptoms such as joint swelling and pain, clinically known as asymptomatic hyperuricemia.
For this group of people, it is not necessarily necessary to immediately take oral medication to lower uric acid treatment, the first thing to do is lifestyle intervention, including avoiding animal offal, seafood, thick broth and other high-purine food intake, reduce the intake of fructose, quit smoking and drinking, eat more fresh vegetables, drink more water, and appropriate moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and other to promote the decline of uric acid levels.
When the uric acid level still can not reach the ideal range after the lifestyle intervention, this time you need to start medication to lower uric acid treatment, such as febuxostat, benzbromarone, etc. The above medications need to be used correctly under the guidance of a doctor in conjunction with your own situation.
It is recommended that patients with high uric acid actively adjust their lifestyles, regularly review their uric acid levels, and go to the hospital for standardized diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
