What to do if your child has high uric acid

It is quite common for children to have high uric acid levels. High uric acid levels are a congenital metabolic disease. High uric acid levels may indicate gout, which is a different type of disease, a purine metabolic disorder. Parents don't need to be afraid when this happens, just pay attention to it, and it's generally not a big deal.

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.

In terms of diet, you should do three more and three less: 1) Drink more water and less soup. People with high blood uric acid and gout patients should drink more boiled water and less meat broth, fish soup, chicken soup, hot pot soup, etc. The osmotic pressure of boiled water is most conducive to dissolving various harmful substances in the body. Drinking more boiled water can dilute uric acid, accelerate excretion, and lower uric acid levels. The soup contains a large amount of purine, which not only fails to dilute uric acid but instead causes an increase in uric acid. 2) Eat more alkaline foods and less acidic foods. Gout patients have purine metabolism disorders and abnormal uric acid. If they eat too much acidic food, it will aggravate the condition and be detrimental to recovery. Eating more alkaline foods can help replenish potassium, sodium, and chloride ions and maintain acid-base balance. 3) Eat more vegetables and less rice. Eating more vegetables can help reduce purine intake, increase vitamin C and increase fiber. Eating less helps control calorie intake, limit weight, and lose weight and reduce fat.

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.

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.

Therefore, you must pay attention to your eating habits. After the above tips, I believe you must have understood them more or less, but you still need to pay attention. You must also pay special attention to your child's rest. Pay attention to ensure your child's sleep time and sleep quality. These have a great impact. If this happens, you must go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to see what the cause is.
