Peking University Female Doctor of Medicine Health Says Original Meiwen No. 452
A few days ago, a fan sent his physical examination report, saying that his uric acid was nearly 500, and asked if he needed to take medicine to lower uric acid.
In fact, whether it is the United States, the European Union, or the United Kingdom, there has been controversy in the "Gout Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines" in various regions about whether patients with symptomatic hyperuricemia should take medicine to lower uric acid.
Because only 10% of people with high uric acid will turn into gout patients, if everyone is allowed to take medicine to lower uric acid, is it not that 90% of people are wasted.
Moreover, all uric acid-lowering drugs have different degrees of toxic side effects, which also limits the enthusiasm and compliance of people with high uric acid to lower uric acid.
However, there is one phenomenon that deserves the attention of everyone with high uric acid – there is growing evidence that chronic hyperuricemia, in addition to precipitating urate crystals in the body, is an independent risk factor for hypertension, metabolic syndrome, chronic nephropathy and cardiovascular disease, and it is also believed that hypouric acid therapy in patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia can improve the occurrence of adverse endpoint events for cardiovascular and renal disease.
So when or to what extent is uric acid lowering in patients with hyperuricemia who are not asymptomatic?
The "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hyperuricemia and Gout in China" believes that only those who have a high uric acid and exceed 540 or have one of the complications such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, inertial concatenation, uric acid nephropathy and uric acid exceed 480 should be treated with uric acid reduction.
Another landmark time is the new subclinical gout proposed in the Guidelines - even if uric acid is high but there is no gout, the medical impact test finds that there is a deposit of urate crystals in the joints and other places, and uric acid treatment can be started.
So what should I do if I don't want to take medicine and want to lower uric acid?
Today's science popularization will introduce a medical research based on the theoretical system of "treating diseases before they occur" in traditional Chinese medicine and preventing gout through "dietary therapy".
In order to verify the effect of lily barley hot porridge with clear heat and dampness to reduce uric acid, the doctor selected a total of 100 asymptomatic hyperuricemia patients with high uric acid found to be high in uric acid after physical examination, 72 men and 28 women, with an average age of 46 years old, randomly divided into 50 control groups and 50 research groups.
Treatment:
Control group:
Adopt only bad habits that change poor diet and improve lifestyle, limit purine intake, control calories, low protein and low purines, adequate vitamins and minerals, drink plenty of water, adhere to exercise and control or weight loss.
Treatment group:
On the basis of the control group, lily barley kernel porridge was given twice a week for three months. Directions: Soak in warm water for about two hours after washing 10g of coix seeds, soak in warm water for about two hours, do not throw away the soaked water, and then add enough water to boil until the coix seeds bloom, and the soup thickens to drink.
Changes in height, weight, BMI, uric acid, police blood glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol were then observed in both groups before and after treatment.
Treatment Results:
There were no differences in height, weight, and BMI between the two groups before and after treatment.
Before, after treatment, and between groups, patients who drank porridge had a greater reduction in blood uric acid — from an average of 470 before treatment to 387, while the control group increased from 461 to 467.
Traditional Chinese medicine to treat gout or lower uric acid, dietary therapy has always been an important part of it, and clearing heat, detoxification, dispelling dampness, phlegm, reducing swelling, relieving pain, nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening the spleen and stomach, is the reason for this.
In the above lily barley kernel porridge, the lily tastes sweet and cold, belongs to the lungs and heart meridians, and has the effect of nourishing yin and clearing heat, suppressing cough and phlegm, and calming the spirit. Moreover, hundreds of cooperation are peaceful, making up for weaknesses does not hinder evil, and driving away evil spirits does not harm righteousness. Moreover, modern pharmacology confirms that lily contains a variety of alkalactive bases such as colchicine, which reduces inflammation and can also bind to cellular microscopic proteins, control abnormal granulocyte activity, reduce granulocyte chemotaxis, inhibit granulocyte infiltration and the release of inflammatory mediators, and alleviate gout symptoms.
Coix kernel, sweet and cold, return to the spleen, stomach, kidneys, lungs meridians, is conducive to water leakage, spleen, relaxation, heat and pus removal effect. Modern pharmacology has confirmed that the active ingredient of coix seed has anti-arterial thrombosis and anticoagulant effect, for the spleen and kidney deficiency, turbidity poison sputum stasis internal obstruction of uric acid high characteristics, regulate the function of the internal organs, prevent and eliminate diseases and evils in the body, increase uric acid excretion, to achieve the purpose of yin and yang secret, so as to reduce uric acid in the body, prevention and treatment of gout in the direction of progress.
In this analysis, Chinese medicine diet therapy to reduce uric acid to prevent gout, just drink lily barley kernel porridge twice a week has such an effect, just to cater to the psychological characteristics of people with high uric acid who do not pay enough attention to high uric acid.
However, if combined with my homepage - the citrate preparation in the window is Small Jian effervescent tablets alkalizing urine to promote uric acid excretion, the effect may be better.
In short, our goal is: uric acid is no longer high, gout is no longer committed, and gout is away from tophi.
