Can people with high uric acid eat tofu?

Patients with high uric acid levels can consume tofu in moderation, but should pay attention to controlling intake and maintaining a balanced diet. Tofu and other soy products have a moderately high purine content, with approximately 60-100 mg of purines per 100 grams of tofu. Therefore, although patients with elevated uric acid levels may consume tofu in moderation, they should limit their intake to avoid excessive consumption that may lead to increased uric acid levels. Tofu is rich in protein, calcium, iron, and other nutrients, and moderate consumption can help supply necessary nutrients to the body. However, excessive intake may increase the burden on the kidneys and affect uric acid excretion. In addition, patients with high uric acid levels should also avoid other high-purine foods such as animal offal and seafood, and maintain adequate water intake to promote uric acid excretion.
