Question
My friend has been experiencing foot pain recently and had their blood uric acid tested, with the result being 453. Could this be a symptom of gout?
Answer
According to clinical standards, only when the blood uric acid level exceeds 390 micromoles per liter can it be diagnosed as hyperuricemia. When the blood uric acid level exceeds 420 micromoles per liter, hyperuricemia is quite clear, and if no measures are taken, it can easily lead to a gout attack. Orthopedic diseases in children can severely affect patients’ health. In addition to timely treatment, daily care is also important, including protecting the affected area and maintaining a reasonable diet, to reduce the chance of recurrence.
