What is the cause of high uric acid in children?

Generally speaking, high uric acid levels indicate that the acid and alkali in the child's body are out of balance. The main harm of high uric acid is that it may cause gout, which is difficult to treat once it occurs. Therefore, preventive measures should be taken before this happens. Generally speaking, high uric acid levels are a sign of imbalance, which can be adjusted over time and through dietary adjustments.

Gout, also known as "hyperuricemia", is a disease caused by purine metabolism disorder, which leads to the accumulation of uric acid. It is a type of arthritis, also known as metabolic arthritis. Treatment is with anti-inflammatory drugs to terminate acute attacks, and colchicine is used prophylactically daily to prevent recurrent acute attacks by reducing urate concentrations in body fluids.

Experts say that in fact, high uric acid levels in children are the same as those in adults, due to the decline in the body's metabolic function, which leads to the inability to excrete uric acid, causing high uric acid levels.

The blood uric acid level is elevated. It can be seen in renal insufficiency, hyperuricemia, and blood system tumors. Further examination of blood routine, renal function and urinary system B-ultrasound is needed to clarify the cause. If it is confirmed to be simple hyperuricemia, allopurinol treatment can be tried.

1. Meat: Do not eat stewed meat, braised meat, bone marrow, or broth. You can eat fish and chicken that contain less purine, but do not eat seafood.

2.Animal offal cannot be eaten.

3. Eat more fruits.

4. Vegetables except spinach, beans and mushrooms cannot be eaten, but all other vegetables can be eaten.

5. Be sure to drink plenty of water. Children may not drink water consciously, so parents must supervise them and make sure they drink a certain amount of water every day.

6. You can eat some eggs and milk to supplement the nutrients needed by the body.

When this kind of high uric acid level occurs, the first thing to do is to maintain a normal attitude, make sure you are optimistic, and slowly adjust yourself. Pay special attention to your diet, do not eat animal offal or some acidic foods, go to the hospital regularly for a check-up to see what causes this situation, and receive treatment according to the doctor's advice.
