Why does high uric acid hurt the kidney?

High uric acid, known as the "fourth highest", is the main factor inducing gout. However, more than two-thirds of people with high uric acid will not have obvious discomfort and gout will not occur. This kind of high uric acid is very harmful to human body, and it is often a health "killer", which is easily overlooked.

Ordinary beer and rice wine are rich in purine. Excessive drinking can easily lead to excessive uric acid production in the body and increase blood uric acid level.

Moreover, although white wine and red wine are not rich in purine, alcohol will produce lactic acid and excrete uric acid when it enters the body.

Especially for patients with hyperuricemia, if they drink a lot of alcohol frequently, it is easy to deposit urate crystals in renal tubules, causing kidney calculi, and even serious renal failure.

Why does high uric acid harm kidney health?

① Excessive purine intake will increase uric acid level, change glomerular inflammation and increase the incidence of renal failure.

② When a large amount of uric acid enters the renal tubule and forms urate crystals, the renal tubule will be blocked and hydronephrosis will occur. In severe cases, it will induce renal failure.

③ Kidney controls metabolism. Patients with gout and hyperuricemia will increase the metabolic pressure of the kidney, damage the kidney and cause renal pathological changes.

Four signals when urinating remind you that your urine acid is high, so be careful of kidney damage.

1, oliguria, anuria: Uric acid crystals will precipitate when uric acid is high for a long time. Once the renal tubule is blocked and the urine excretion channel is not smooth, it will lead to frequent urination, urgency, oliguria and even anuria.

2, urinary pain: tiny uric acid crystals will be excreted with urine, but larger particles will block the ureter and cause micturition pain.

3, hematuria: high uric acid can also cause nephritis, hematuria, strong tea color urine, washing meat color urine.

4. Foamed urine: When the kidney is damaged, protein's metabolism is abnormal, which will produce foamed urine and exist for a long time.

Uric acid is too high for a long time, what's the harm?

Hazard 1, diabetes

Patients with hyperuricemia often have metabolic syndrome, and the proportion of diabetes is 8.6%.

Hyperuricemia and diabetes have many common factors, such as age and obesity.

Uric acid, like blood sugar, tends to increase with age. Studies have shown that high serum uric acid concentration can directly damage pancreatic Shown band cells and induce diabetes.

Hazard 2, hyperlipidemia

Hyperuricemia and hyperlipidemia are metabolic diseases.

It is reported that the probability of hyperlipidemia in patients with hyperuricemia is 25%, and serum uric acid is positively correlated with TG (triglyceride), which is a risk factor for the increase of uric acid level.

When eating foods rich in triglycerides, the increase of uric acid level will promote lipid oxidation, lead to the increase of blood lipids, and participate in inflammatory reactions with the generation of oxygen free radicals.

Moreover, the increase of serum uric acid level will accelerate platelet aggregation and aggravate thrombosis.

It is best to check regularly at ordinary times to monitor uric acid level.

The increase of uric acid level is a delicate process. It is recommended to check regularly at ordinary times. Once uric acid exceeds 420? Mol/L, with or without discomfort, it is best to actively accept treatment.

Before checking the blood uric acid value, we should pay attention to:

Eat normally the day before, and avoid drinking and eating a lot of high purine food.

Do venous blood test on an empty stomach.

Pay attention to whether you have taken antibiotics, antihypertensive drugs and diuretics. Recently, this can increase uric acid.

Avoiding strenuous exercise before examination can increase metabolism and uric acid in the body.

Only when the two tests are abnormal on the same day can we judge the increase of blood uric acid.
