What is the normal range of uric acid for a 50-year-old woman?
The normal blood uric acid level for a 50-year-old woman is < 530μmol/L. For postmenopausal women, the normal range of blood uric acid should refer to male standards, which is < 620μmol/L. According to the "Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Gout," the diagnosis of hyperuricemia is based on epidemiological data. Under normal dietary conditions, the non-consecutive two fasting blood uric acid levels are >7mg/dL (620μmol/L) for males and >6mg/dL (530μmol/L) for females. For postmenopausal women, the normal range of blood uric acid should refer to male standards. For patients undergoing uric acid-lowering therapy, their blood uric acid levels should be controlled below 530μmol/L. For general gout patients, the target value is < 360μmol/L; for patients with one of the following conditions, such as gout attacks ≥2 times per year, tophus, chronic gouty arthritis, kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, stroke, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and onset age <40 years, the target value is < 300μmol/L.
Patients with hyperuricemia and gout should avoid wind and cold, limit alcohol and tobacco consumption, and also reduce the intake of rich and greasy foods while avoiding excessive fatigue. Depending on their constitution, they can choose to consume medicinal diets such as coicis semen and corn silk for a long time to correct any imbalances in their constitution. Additionally, exercise can strengthen their physique and regulate their mental state, achieving the goals of preventing disease before it occurs and preventing disease progression once it has occurred.
