Dr. Chen Xinyan
Symptoms of purine metabolism disorders typically include severe joint pain or swelling, elevated uric acid levels, and kidney stones. Patients experiencing these symptoms should not self-medicate blindly; instead, they must promptly seek medical guidance and begin treatment with glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) under a physician’s supervision. During treatment, patients should drink plenty of warm water, supplement trace elements adequately, and enhance their immune function.
