High uric acid and things to do every day

Kiều Vũ (Theo ACR) |

High uric acid will increase the risk of gout, kidney stones and many metabolic complications.

When detecting an increase in uric acid index, do not be subjective but need to have measures to adjust lifestyle and monitor health to limit long-term effects.

First of all, people with high uric acid need to change their diet. You should limit foods high in purines such as animal organs, red meat, seafood, thick broth and some types of fish. At the same time, you need to reduce alcohol consumption, especially beer, because they reduce the ability to excrete uric acid through the kidneys. In addition, you should increase green vegetables, low-sugar fruits, whole grains and fiber-rich foods to support metabolism.

Drinking enough water is also an important factor. Supplementing with about 2-3 liters of water per day, if not prescribed by a doctor, helps increase uric acid excretion through urine, thereby reducing the risk of urate crystals and kidney stones. Maintaining a reasonable weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise also contributes to controlling uric acid levels. However, it is necessary to avoid losing weight too quickly because this can temporarily increase blood uric acid levels.

For cases of prolonged increased uric acid or symptoms such as pain, swollen joints, you should go to a medical facility for examination and to determine the cause. Your doctor may prescribe medications to help reduce or increase uric acid excretion if necessary.

Absolutely do not arbitrarily use drugs without professional guidance, because treatment needs to be individualized based on health status and accompanying diseases.

High uric acid can be completely controlled if combined with a reasonable diet, healthy lifestyle and adherence to doctor's treatment instructions.

Proactively monitoring health and periodic check-ups will help reduce the risk of complications, improve quality of life and protect long-term health.
