Disease description:

When I feel cold, I usually buy lamb to make lamb soup. However, I’ve just found out that I have high uric acid levels and would like to know: Is it safe for someone with hyperuricemia to drink lamb soup?

Patients with hyperuricemia should avoid eating lamb. Lamb soup is a high-purine food, which can elevate serum uric acid levels and potentially exacerbate the condition or trigger gout attacks. Patients with elevated uric acid levels should consume more low-purine foods and avoid high-purine foods such as organ meats and seafood, which may aid in disease recovery.
