How high is the uric acid level to be considered gout?

Many people in our daily lives often suffer from gout symptoms due to high uric acid levels, so we must properly control and respond reasonably in normal times to avoid the impact of high uric acid on our bodies. There is no way to judge how high the uric acid level is to cause gout, so we still need to control uric acid at a certain level. When we go to the hospital for examination and find that the uric acid level is high, gout has already appeared.

In order to effectively relieve and control uric acid levels in daily life, the incidence of gout can be reduced. We need to make a proper arrangement for the relevant diet.

1. Diet control;

Gout is a disease caused by both congenital genetic genes (constitution) and acquired dietary environment. If there is no hereditary gout constitution (not necessarily a family history of gout), it is not easy to cause gout due to overeating. However, if there is high uric acid, the onset of gout can be reduced or avoided through food control in advance. Especially those high-risk groups with a family history of gout and persistent high uric acid should develop good eating habits from an early age.

2. Diet therapy;

There are triggers before an acute gout attack, among which beer is the most important reason (accounting for 60%), followed by seafood (18%) and offal food (14%), while soy products rarely cause attacks. At the same time, according to measurements by scholars from Taiwan, Japan and the United States, the purine content of various beans is not too high. Therefore, the misconception among the people that people with gout should not eat beans can be overturned. Another indirect evidence is that monks who often eat soy products rarely suffer from gout.

3. Diet adjustment

If you are overweight, you should lose weight slowly. It is not advisable to lose weight quickly or fast, so as to avoid gout attacks caused by the production of uric acid due to massive cell breakdown. It is advisable to lose no more than 1 kg per month. In terms of carbohydrates: all root vegetables are edible, except for dried mushrooms and seaweed, which should not be consumed in large quantities, vegetables such as bean sprouts and pea shoots can be eaten, and there are no taboos on fruits.

This article introduces "How high uric acid levels can cause gout" and related dietary plans. We hope that after understanding the normal value of uric acid, you can promptly judge the uric acid level based on routine examinations, and properly control the high uric acid level through an effective dietary plan.
