Beware of the Silent Killer - Gout

April 20th is designated as "World Gout Day" each year. This specific date is set because the upper limit of normal uric acid level is 420 μmol/L ("420" corresponds to April 20th). This day reminds us: It is urgent to monitor uric acid levels and prevent the onset of gout!

Gout, known as a "disease of affluence" in modern times, is a chronic disease causing joint inflammation due to abnormal uric acid metabolism. Latest data shows:

❗ The number of hyperuricemia patients in China exceeds 180 million
❗ Approximately 10% of them will develop gout
❗ The age of onset is increasingly younger

Most worryingly, hyperuricemia is often asymptomatic! Many people do not seek medical attention until they experience sudden severe joint pain, by which time uric acid levels may have been elevated for a long period.

Why is uric acid 420 μmol/L so important?
✅ This is the upper limit of normal uric acid for both men and women
✅ Exceeding this value indicates hyperuricemia
✅ The higher the value, the greater the risk of gout
✅ Even without symptoms, it can silently damage the kidneys
