What is the normal value of uric acid? What should I do if my uric acid level is too high?

Uric acid has a certain normal value. Once it appears, high uric acid will lead to the occurrence of disease. At this time, we can regulate it by controlling our diet. We should eat more vegetarian food, drink more boiled water or light tea, and also pay attention to abstaining from alcohol.

The following is the uric acid index of the human body under normal circumstances: Normal reference value phosphotungstic acid reduction method: Male: 149 ~ 416umol / L. Female: 89～357umo1/L. Uricase-peroxidase coupled method: Adults: 90-420umo1/L. If the uric acid level is really high, it is likely to cause gout, so preventing gout is the first priority.

Diet for high uric acid:

1. Drink more boiled water or light tea, keep it between 1500 and 3000 ml per day, and drink it in small amounts multiple times to help excrete uric acid. It is best to control the daily urine output to around 2000ml. Westerners often drink apple cider vinegar regularly to lower uric acid. Do not drink strong tea, coffee or sweet drinks.

2. Eat more vegetarian food, but not all vegetarian food. Eat more purple eggplant, Shanghai greens, and lettuce. Avoid spinach as a green vegetable, and eat less or no beans at all. Eat more fruits. Various fruits are composed of carbohydrates, which have a positive effect on making the body alkaline, especially eating more cherries.

3. Do not drink alcohol. Alcohol can easily cause lactic acid accumulation in the body, which inhibits the excretion of uric acid and can easily induce gout. Strictly abstain from alcohol, and beer and seafood are absolutely prohibited. Beer itself contains alcohol, which will affect the excretion of uric acid; and during the oxidation process of alcohol, some substances will be produced that increase uric acid. Seafood contains purine and protein. Excessive intake of protein will put our body in a slightly acidic environment, which will promote the formation of uric acid crystals. In addition, if a large amount of seafood is consumed in a short period of time, the large amount of purine will cause a sharp increase in uric acid. Although our dietary factors only account for 10% to 20% of uric acid, eating a large amount of seafood in a short period of time will cause a sharp increase in uric acid, and drinking alcohol will affect excretion.

4. Avoid eating large amounts of high-purine foods, such as: peanuts, beef, pork, seafood, such as animal offal, sardines, tuna, beans and fermented foods, fish, shrimp, fresh meat, peas, spinach, wine, etc.! Avoid stewed or braised meats.
