How to check high uric acid

summary

These days, an old friend called me and said that he was found to have high uric acid. He was afraid of the possible complications if the doctor didn't control them well, which made me a little worried about myself. Now let's talk about how to check high uric acid.

How to check high uric acid

First, drink plenty of water and prohibit alcohol, avoid eating lots of high purine foods, such as peanuts, beef, pork and seafood, such as animal viscera, sardine, tuna, beans and fermented food; fish and shrimp, fresh meat, peas, spinach, wine, etc., avoid stewing meat or braised pork. Don't eat less fruit and milk.

Second, drug treatment can reduce the level of serum uric acid, reduce the acute attack of gout, prevent the formation of gout stone, and reduce kidney damage. Most of the drugs were given benzbromarone 25-100mg once a day, sometimes combined with a small dose of allopurinol. At present, allopurinol is widely used in the treatment of secondary diseases, while benbromarone and sodium bicarbonate are used in the treatment of primary diseases.

Third: hyperuricemia is more likely to cause gout. Some people with hyperuricemia will not cause gout for a lifetime, while some people will have gout for the first time within a week or a month after the discovery of hyperuricemia. After the first gout, there is usually a 1-2-year interval, and also a 10-year interval (5%), during which active treatment is needed to prevent the formation of gout stone.

matters needing attention

I believe most people don't know what high uric acid is. Most of the high uric acid is caused by not paying attention to keeping their living habits healthy in life. It is suggested that for the sake of their health, they should go to the hospital regularly for a check-up, so that they can understand their physical condition.
