How to measure your Uric Acid Level yourself?
In this video we show you how to measure your own uric acid level.
This is important for gout patients, in order to follow up on specific gout treatments.
There are many kits on the market, cheap kits on ebay, expensive ones in pharmacies. Be sure you easy can get the consumables for the kid of your choice.
At The Gout Clinic, we use a lifetouch kit.
It measures beside Uric Acid levels also cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
These are also important indicators for following up on healing of gout; the extra cost is a good investment.
The kit has measuring strips with a corresponding chip, a measuring unit and a lancet.
First check that the number on the strip container matches with the chip in the measuring unit.
Put the strip in the unit, it will go automatically on, the screen asks for a blood drop.
Shake your hand to get extra blood flow.
Disinfect the sample area and wait a bit.
Puncture the finger with the lancet.
Wait until a nice blood drop comes out.
If the drop is very small, try again to get a larger one.
Take the unit and let the strip absorb some blood.
Wait a bit and make your reading.
That is it, done.
The second part of the video, tells my story.
How my own uric acid levels did change, from having been diagnosed with gout, to having again healthy levels of uric acid.
The result 3.3 mg/dl, is the reading of my uric acid level today.
I got my first gout attack in 1999.
In 2002 I was diagnosed with gout, my uric acid level was 11.4 mg/dl.
The specialists prescribed allopurinol, which I took for years.
Until I got very sick of it, Steven-Johnson syndrome. Research it, allopurinol is, a high risk of inducing SJS, and people, die from it!
I was switched to Losartan, but I felt I did not become better.
Even taken these drugs, my Uric acid levels never went below 8 mg/dl.
Gout attacks started to dominate my life. They destroyed my life.
Today, I m 4 years free of any uric acid lowering medicine, only taking medicinal gout herbs, my uric acid level, as shown in the video, is on the low side for a normal healthy person. And yes I eat today meat, and I enjoy drinking beer and wine.
