Is uric acid around 500 serious in young people for a long time?
If the uric acid level of young people exceeds 500, it is already relatively high. This is a serious situation and needs to be actively controlled. If long-term hyperuricemia is not actively controlled, it may lead to gout attack. When gout attacks, it can cause joint swelling, fever and pain, and severe gout attacks repeatedly, even forming tophi, causing joint pain. Loss of function and joint deformity. Long-term hyperuricemia needs active control, including lifestyle intervention and drug treatment.
First of all, avoid eating high purine foods, including animal offal, seafood and drinking beer. In addition, drinking plenty of water promotes the excretion of uric acid. If gout recurs, you need to use uric acid-lowering drugs.
Does uric acid need more than 500 treatment?
Need.
It is necessary to treat 500 micromoles of uric acid per liter. Because the blood uric acid concentration of normal men is lower than 420 micromole/L, the normal range of women before menopause is lower than 350 micromole/L; After menopause, it cannot exceed 420 micromoles per liter.
The occurrence of hyperuricemia indicates that the body's purine metabolism is disordered, and the blood uric acid concentration can be kept as normal as possible through diet and drug control. Because 10%- 15% patients with hyperuricemia will develop gout, gouty arthritis and gouty kidney damage, and gout will easily develop into urinary calculi after development.
What will happen if uric acid reaches more than 500
Uric acid above 500 belongs to the category of hyperuricemia. With the increase of blood uric acid level, supersaturated sodium urate crystallites precipitate and deposit on joints, synovium, muscle health, kidney, connective tissue and other tissues and organs to form gout stones, which cause acute chronic inflammation and tissue damage, and multi-system damage such as arthritis, urinary calculi and kidney diseases. About 5% ~12% hyperuricemia will eventually develop into gout, which can cause gout attacks, such as joint injury, overeating, overworking, getting damp, catching cold, drugs, infection, trauma, surgery, etc., but hyperuricemia does not always occur, and there are asymptomatic hyperuricemia.
This hyperuricemia can also cause damage to kidneys and joints. At present, asymptomatic hyperuricemia is advocated If uric acid is more than 540 μ mol/L, it should be treated with drugs. Patients with hyperuricemia need a low purine diet.
