Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disease caused by purine metabolism disorders, and many gout patients have high uric acid levels in the early stages. Research data shows that the incidence of gout is increasing year by year, and the age of onset is also becoming younger. Abnormal uric acid levels in adolescents have become a health issue that needs to be taken seriously. Abnormal uric acid levels are not limited to middle-aged, elderly, and young gout patients. Recently, 19-year-old Xiao Wu came to the hospital for treatment due to frequent pain in his foot joints. After examination, Xiao Wu's uric acid level was found to be 589 micromoles per liter, and he was diagnosed with gout. Xiao Wu told reporters that he doesn't exercise, likes to stay up late, and enjoys drinking beverages. At most, he can drink two or three bottles a day. Can young people also get gout? These triggers should alert medical personnel, who state that the onset of gout is related to multiple factors. For adolescents, unreasonable dietary habits, lack of exercise, and unhealthy lifestyle habits are the main reasons. Wu Rui, Director of the Rheumatology and Immunology Department at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University: He likes beverages containing fructose, high purine foods, and alcohol consumption, all of which can lead to excessive uric acid production. Because uric acid is mainly a product of purine metabolism, purine in our body is very abundant in cells. In addition, there are also many purines in the diet, especially in meat and fish. If there are metabolic disorders and excretion disorders, uric acid can also be elevated, and eating too much can also increase it. Under normal circumstances, if the fasting blood uric acid level is higher than 420 μ mol/L (micromolar/liter) in males and 360 μ mol/L (micromolar/liter) in females, it is considered hyperuricemia. For children (<15 years old), blood uric acid levels above 357 μ mol/L (micromoles/liter) are typically defined as hyperuricemia. (New Society)
