Uric acid in human body has been maintained in a fixed range (80~360μmol/L for women and 150~420μmol/L for men).

If uric acid is produced too much or the pathway to excrete uric acid is not smooth, uric acid will accumulate in the body, which is what we often call uric acid increase.

How much does uric acid need to take medicine?

(1) There are no symptoms, just high uric acid, so you don't need to take medicine.

Uric acid value does not exceed 540μmol/L, so you don't need to take medicine, just drink more water, control your diet and increase your exercise.

If the uric acid drops below 420μmol/L after half a year, it shows that the method of reducing uric acid adopted before is effective, and it can be maintained in the future.

If the result of re-examination is that uric acid has not decreased but increased, or there are problems such as pain and joint swelling in the process, you need to seek medical advice in time and take drugs to reduce uric acid under the guidance of a doctor.

(2) Patients with acute gout attack.

As long as the uric acid in these patients increases, they should be treated with uric acid reduction, with the goal of less than 360 μ mol/L.

If there are patients with tophus, chronic gouty arthritis or frequent acute gout attacks, uric acid should be less than 300 μ mol/L.

Note: It is not appropriate to reduce uric acid during acute attack of gout, and the uric acid level should not be too low.

(3) Patients with obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and other basic diseases.

As long as the uric acid of these patients exceeds 480μmol/L, drug treatment should be started, and the uric acid should be controlled below 420 μ mol/L.

How to reduce uric acid without taking medicine? Remember that uric acid will naturally decrease if you don't take medicine.

1, drinks: white wine and beer must not be drunk.

2, seafood: shellfish such as shrimp, crab, and sardines can not be eaten. Sea cucumber can be eaten.

3, animal viscera: animal livers such as chicken hearts and chicken gizzards should be strictly forbidden to eat. You can eat a small amount of barbecue, but you must not touch the internal organs.

4, red meat: pigs, cattle, mutton eat less. If you are really greedy, you can eat a few pieces of boiled meat, but you must not drink broth.

5, soy products: soy milk, tofu, dried beans to eat less. Bean products are also high in purine.

6, vegetables: cowpea, lentils, Dutch beans, bean sprouts eat less. In addition, cauliflower and spinach are also vegetables with high purine content. The rest vegetables are basically free of purine, so you can safely eat them.

7, fungi: Flammulina velutipes, mushrooms eat less. In contrast, although the purine content of fungi is so high, it is enough to make people feel pain.

8. Dried fruits: Eat less cashews. Although dried fruit is good for human health, it is another matter for gout patients. It is best not to touch these foods at ordinary times to avoid increasing their uric acid content.

If you want uric acid to be stable, you have to start from daily trivial matters, and diet naturally becomes the top priority.
