Treatment of Hyperuricemia
Hyperuricemia is becoming increasingly common in today's life, and its treatment is divided into two main aspects: lifestyle interventions and medication treatment.
For lifestyle, the main focus should be on healthy eating, quitting smoking, maintaining regular exercise, and proper weight control. Regarding diet, a strict low-purine diet is essential, especially avoiding the consumption of animal offals, meat broths, seafood, and beer. Additionally, it is important to alkalinize urine, which can be done using substances like baking soda or soda water. Also, ensure to drink plenty of water, maintaining a daily intake of over 2000 milliliters, and control other risk factors that can cause hyperuricemia, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar.
In terms of medication, the choice of drugs should be based on the different causes of hyperuricemia. If it is due to a uric acid excretion disorder, drugs like probenecid may be used. If it is due to an overproduction of uric acid, medications like allopurinol could be considered.
(Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
