Taking tuberculosis drugs leads to an increase in uric acid, which is generally caused by pyrazinamide. Patients can go to the prevention and treatment hospital of the tuberculosis hospital to consult whether they can be adjusted to other anti tuberculosis drugs. If not, patients need to adhere to a low purine diet. Generally, they can eat all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits, eat eggs and drink milk. In addition, you can drink more water to promote uric acid excretion. Of course, since tuberculosis is a consumptive disease, patients are encouraged to take a high protein diet and eat meat products appropriately according to their weight every day. If the patient has no way to reduce the blood uric acid to normal through this lifestyle adjustment, he can consider using uric acid lowering drugs. Generally, pyrazinamide causes an increase in uric acid due to inhibition of uric acid excretion, so the patient can take drugs such as benzbromarone to promote uric acid excretion, and can also take baking soda to alkalize urine to promote uric acid excretion.
