Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have high uric acid levels and mild pain in random joints. I would like to know about hyperuricemia management. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Definitely, your uric acid is very high. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). To discuss the management, I would need to know, since when are you having these symptoms. Only small joints are involved or large joints like the knee, and elbow are also involved? Is there any reddening or swelling over the joints? Do you consume alcohol?
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have had these symptoms since last year. Initially, I used to have severe pain in the large joints like knee and hip joints. Now I do not have severe pains, but mild pains in large joints and some sort of irritation on the finger joints. No visible swelling, but I do occasionally get mouth sores (maybe inflammation indications). I rarely drink, like once in two or three months.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
In this case, my recommendation would be to start you on anti hyperuricemic agents. I would recommend you take the tablet Febuxostat 80 mg once daily after meals. Reduce protein and non-vegetarian diet. Drink plenty of fluids. Write back to me after one month with a fresh report of serum uric acid.
I hope this helps.
