Increased blood uric acid

As we all know, uric acid is one of the waste products produced during our body's metabolism. Under normal circumstances, the uric acid concentration in our blood is always maintained within a normal range. However, if the blood uric acid level suddenly increases, it will be extremely harmful to our body. It will not only easily induce diseases such as stroke, but will also lead to the occurrence of some cardiovascular diseases. So what should we pay attention to in our daily diet when blood uric acid is elevated?

In fact, the harm of increased blood uric acid to our body cannot be ignored. If the concentration of uric acid has greatly exceeded the normal range by dozens of times, then certain treatment measures should be taken in time, otherwise life may be in danger. Here are some things to note when your blood uric acid level is elevated.

Normal blood uric acid

For males: 237.9～356.9μmol/L (4～6mg/dL), for females: 178.4～297.4μmol (3～5mg/dL). The main symptom of hyperuricemia nephropathy is high blood uric acid. Clinically, hyperuricemia can only be diagnosed when blood uric acid exceeds 390 micromol/L. When blood uric acid exceeds 420 micromoles/liter, hyperuricemia is already very obvious. If no certain measures are taken at this time, it will easily lead to an attack of gout. Clinical data show that the uric acid levels of most gout patients are over 420 micromoles/liter.

Precautions for elevated blood uric acid

In the treatment of elevated blood uric acid, in addition to using drugs to lower uric acid, attention should also be paid to the following aspects:

1. Try to maintain your body weight within the ideal range. If you need to lose weight, do it slowly, because rapid weight loss will cause tissue to decompose faster, which will in turn cause the production of a large amount of uric acid.

2. The diet should be mainly vegetarian, eat as little animal oil as possible, and use steaming, boiling, and cold mixing methods more often.

3. Choose more foods rich in vitamin B1 and vitamin C, such as rice, noodles, milk, eggs, fruits and various vegetable oils.

4. Strictly control the intake of animal offal, fish skin and seafood, dried beans and nuts, various broths, and some vegetables (grass, celery, cauliflower, spinach), etc.

5. Drink more water, because sufficient water can help uric acid be excreted smoothly. Drink less alcohol, because alcohol is metabolized into lactic acid in the human body, which affects the excretion of uric acid.

Everyone has already learned about the precautions for increased blood uric acid. In addition to seeking medical attention promptly and cooperating with the doctor to take medication regularly for treatment of increased blood uric acid. In terms of daily diet, you need to eat light food. It is best to eat more foods containing vitamin C.
