Is 431 Uric Acid High? How to Treat It?

1. Uric acid at 431 μmol/L is on the high side, mainly requiring attention to lifestyle adjustments and medication if necessary.

2. The normal level of uric acid is mainly related to age. The normal range of uric acid for males is generally 149~416 μmol/L, and for females, it is 89~357 μmol/L. Currently, uric acid at 431 μmol/L is on the high side but not very serious.

3. If uric acid levels do not continue to increase and there are no discomforting symptoms, the main focus should be on lifestyle adjustments. One should quit smoking and alcohol consumption, avoid high-purine foods such as animal internals and seafood, consume more vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water to help promote uric acid excretion. If uric acid levels do not decrease after lifestyle adjustments, it is necessary to take uric acid-lowering drugs such as Allopurinol Tablets and Febuxostat Tablets under the guidance of a doctor to avoid gout caused by high uric acid.

4. When uric acid levels are high, it is important to control weight, engage in appropriate physical exercise, especially aerobic exercises, which can help reduce uric acid levels.
