What medications should be taken for high uric acid?

Generally, high uric acid levels may be caused by dietary factors, excessive exercise, hypothyroidism, metabolic syndrome, chronic glomerulonephritis, and other factors. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and use medications such as Methimazole Tablets, Metformin Hydrochloride Sustained-Release Tablets, Irbesartan Tablets, and Enalapril Maleate Tablets under a doctor's guidance. Detailed explanations are as follows:

　　1. Dietary Factors

　　Excessive intake of high-purine foods is a common physiological cause of elevated uric acid levels. Foods such as animal offal, seafood, and concentrated meat broth are rich in purines. After purines are ingested by the body, they undergo a series of metabolic processes and are eventually converted into uric acid. When large amounts of high-purine foods are consumed in a short time, the amount of uric acid produced in the body significantly increases, exceeding the kidney's ability to excrete uric acid, thereby causing elevated blood uric acid levels. In general, medication may not be necessary. Daily dietary adjustments should be made to reduce intake of high-purine foods and increase consumption of low-purine foods such as fresh vegetables, fruits, milk, and eggs, maintaining a balanced diet.

　　2. Excessive Exercise

　　During intense or prolonged high-intensity exercise, human muscle cells perform anaerobic respiration due to oxygen deficiency, producing a large amount of lactic acid. Accumulation of lactic acid in the body competitively inhibits the excretion of uric acid by the renal tubules, resulting in reduced excretion of uric acid. Moreover, catabolism of body cells also increases during exercise, releasing more purines, which in turn leads to increased uric acid production. Generally, medication may not be needed. Daily exercise should be moderate, following the principle of gradual progression, avoiding sudden prolonged, high-intensity exercise.

　　3. Hypothyroidism

　　Hypothyroidism is often caused by autoimmune diseases, thyroid surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, and other factors leading to decreased synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones. When hypothyroidism occurs, the metabolic rate slows down, and multiple substances in the body metabolize abnormally, including uric acid metabolism. Hypothyroidism can lead to reduced renal blood flow, decreased glomerular filtration rate, and reduced excretion of uric acid, thereby increasing blood uric acid levels. Patients may also experience symptoms such as cold intolerance and fatigue. Patients can take medications such as Methimazole Tablets, Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets, and Propranolol Hydrochloride Tablets under a doctor's advice.

　　4. Metabolic Syndrome

　　Metabolic syndrome is a complex cluster of metabolic disorders, including obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Its occurrence is related to multiple factors such as genetics and lifestyle. Under metabolic syndrome conditions, multiple metabolic pathways in the body become abnormal. Insulin resistance not only affects uric acid excretion but also promotes increased uric acid production, leading to elevated uric acid levels. It may also be accompanied by abnormal blood glucose and elevated blood pressure. Medications such as Nifedipine Controlled-Release Tablets, Metformin Hydrochloride Sustained-Release Tablets, and Atorvastatin Calcium Tablets can be used under a doctor's guidance.

　　5. Chronic Glomerulonephritis

　　Chronic glomerulonephritis is mostly caused by immune-mediated inflammatory reactions and may also be secondary to other diseases. It may lead to impaired glomerular filtration function and reduced excretion of uric acid. At the same time, kidney disease can cause metabolic disturbances in the body, further affecting the balance of uric acid production and excretion, resulting in the aforementioned condition. Symptoms such as edema and impaired kidney function may also occur. Patients may follow medical advice to use medications such as Cyclophosphamide Compound Tablets, Irbesartan Tablets, and Enalapril Maleate Tablets.

　　In daily life, maintaining a healthy living environment is important, avoiding exposure to harmful substances in the environment, such as avoiding living in areas with severe lead pollution, paying attention to household cleanliness, and reducing inhalation of dust and chemical pollutants.
