Patient's question:
Hello. My child is 13 years old. In the previous period, due to a bacterial infection, he was hospitalized for a week. He received five IV drips every day. After a week, three tests showed high uric acid levels, over 500. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Do not rule out blood diseases. Please further examine to confirm the diagnosis. Your daughter's condition is mainly about dietary adjustments. Excessive uric acid can lead to gout. It needs special attention. It is necessary to avoid foods such as animal organs, seafood, and beer. Drink more water and exercise. This is beneficial for uric acid metabolism. Uric acid is produced by the oxidation of purine substances in the body. If under normal purine dietary conditions, the fasting serum uric acid level is higher than normal for two consecutive days, then hyperuricemia can be diagnosed.
