Diagnostic cut-off for hyperuricemia.
Hyperuricemia is called hyperuricemia when the serum uric acid level exceeds 4200 micromoles per liter twice a day in both men and women. When the blood uric acid exceeds its saturation in the blood or tissue fluid, it is easy to form sodium urate crystals in the joints and deposit them, inducing local inflammatory reactions and tissue destruction, which is often referred to as gout. Therefore, early prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia has also become the key to reducing gout attacks.
Experts from Zhongshan Hospital, Yueyang Hospital, Ruijin Hospital, Huashan Hospital, Changhai Hospital, Changzheng Hospital, Municipal Tenth People's Hospital, Pudong New Area Zhoupu Hospital and other rheumatology experts gathered to publicize the knowledge of gout and high uric acid prevention and treatment, scientifically explain for patients, and formulate individualized plans.
