Whether blood uric acid 46 μmol/L is serious or not cannot be generalized and depends on the cause of the disease. Physiologic factors are generally not serious, while pathologic factors are relatively serious. Physiological factors such as too little protein intake; pathological factors such as severe malnutrition, kidney disease, liver disease, etc..
1. Physiological factors: when the body consumes too little protein food, there may be a transient decrease in uric acid. With the adjustment of dietary structure, blood uric acid will gradually recover, usually not serious.
2. Pathologic factors: the condition is relatively serious, severe malnutrition patients will lead to a persistent decline in uric acid. Certain renal diseases lead to damage to the renal tubules, the reabsorption of uric acid is reduced, it will lead to increased excretion of uric acid, so that the blood uric acid is low. Blood uric acid can also be lowered if there is a liver abnormality where purines cannot be broken down to produce uric acid or if there is a decrease in the synthesis of purines.
Blood uric acid 46μmol / L may also have other causes, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner to identify the causes, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
