Not knowing the normal range for uric acid levels, and since testing uric acid has recently become popular, I'd like to ask: what is the normal range for uric acid?

Dr. Liu Aihua
In men, the normal range is between 149 and 416, while in women it ranges from 89 to 357. Elevated levels of this indicator in the body are usually caused by excessive intake of purine-containing substances, but may also be influenced by conditions such as chronic hemolytic anemia. Pre-menopausal women generally have lower uric acid levels than men, but after menopause, there is no significant difference between the sexes. It is essential to go to the hospital immediately to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
