Introduction
In general, the normal serum uric acid level for adult males ranges from 150 to 420 μmol/L, while that for adult females is lower, typically between 90 and 360 μmol/L. In children, the normal uric acid level is lower than in adults, generally ranging from 180 to 300 μmol/L.
Uric acid is a component of urine, produced as a metabolic byproduct of alcohol or dietary substances, and is normally excreted from the body via the urinary tract. Under normal physiological conditions, the reference range for serum uric acid is 150–420 μmol/L; levels in females tend to be somewhat lower. Elevated uric acid may manifest clinically as dark yellow urine with a strong odor, and is commonly associated with gout—primarily attributable to inappropriate dietary habits.
What Is the Normal Range for Uric Acid?
In adult males, the normal serum uric acid range is 150–420 μmol/L; in adult females, it is slightly lower, typically 90–360 μmol/L. In children, normal uric acid levels are generally lower than in adults, ranging from a minimum of approximately 180 μmol/L to a maximum of about 300 μmol/L.
Alcohol consumption should be avoided entirely, as alcohol promotes lactic acid accumulation, which inhibits uric acid excretion and increases the risk of gout attacks. Strict abstinence from alcohol is advised—particularly beer combined with seafood, which is absolutely contraindicated. Beer contains alcohol, impairing uric acid elimination; moreover, during alcohol metabolism, certain metabolites are generated that elevate uric acid levels. If uric acid levels fall outside the normal range, patients should increase fluid intake to 1,500–3,000 mL daily, consuming water in small, frequent amounts to facilitate uric acid excretion.
Daily dietary protein intake should be limited to approximately 1 g per kilogram of body weight. Foods especially rich in purines—including organ meats (heart, liver, intestine, kidney, brain), meat broths, sardines, shrimp, and shellfish—should be consumed sparingly. Early intervention and appropriate lifestyle modifications for hyperuricemia can effectively prevent serious, potentially debilitating conditions such as gout and kidney stones. High-purine foods—including peanuts, beef, pork, seafood, and animal offal—should be strictly limited.
The Pulsed Electromagnetic Hetero-Fusion Therapy Device employs negative-electrode渗透 (permeation) technology, leveraging the principle of positive and negative ions to generate an increased concentration of negative ions. These ions are delivered into the body via magnetic wave transmission. Upon penetration into cellular tissues, negative ions induce vasodilation of small arterioles in the affected area, accelerate local blood circulation, enhance cell membrane permeability, and thereby boost cellular activity. This process helps restore cellular membrane potential equilibrium and achieves magnetic neutralization and redox balance. Furthermore, circulating negative ions distribute systemically, improving tissue nutrient absorption and enhancing metabolic efficiency—thereby accelerating the elimination of uric acid from the body.
