Hyperuric acid is a common metabolic disease caused by decreased or increased uric acid excretion in the body. Uric acid is a product of purine metabolism in the human body, and under normal circumstances, uric acid is excreted through the kidneys to maintain the balance of uric acid levels in the body.
When uric acid excretion decreases or synthesis increases, uric acid accumulates in the body, leading to hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia is the main cause of gout**, but not all patients with high uric acid will develop gout.
The onset of high uric acid is related to various factors such as diet, genetics, and lifestyle, and excessive intake of high-purine foods in the diet will increase the level of uric acid in the body, so you should pay special attention to your diet.
1.Painful, swollen joints
When the patient's uric acid content is too high, urate will be deposited in the joint cavity, causing symptoms of joint pain and swelling.
In addition to this, if the patient suffers from gout, then his joints will often experience symptoms such as redness, swelling, fever, pain, etc. It can also be accompanied by varying degrees of fever, which can also lead to arthritis when the patient's blood uric acid level is too high.
2.Abnormal kidney function
The symptoms of elevated uric acid in the kidneys are mainly due to the decline in kidney function, which makes the body unable to work normally and affects life. When the kidney function is severely reduced, the patient's body will experience various problems such as urine, low back and leg pain, urine pain, etc. Therefore, patients with high uric acid should be treated promptly** and cared for to avoid greater effects on kidney function.
3.Hyperuricemia
Hyperuricemia is the main cause of gout, so if you want to know whether you have gout, you can check for hyperuricemia, and generally through blood tests, hyperuricemia can be detected in time. If symptoms do not yet appear, it is also necessary to control the uric acid in time and keep the uric acid within the normal range to avoid gout attacks.
4.There are wounds
The long duration of gout can lead to wounds on the **, because with the oversaturation of high uric acid, the condition will also worsen, and it is easy to form tophi. Tophi not only damages the bones, causing severe pain locally, but also damages the tissues.
Due to the influence of tophi, it is extremely sensitive and fragile, and the irritated local area is prone to wounds, and the risk of infection is relatively high.

However, when eating fish, it is better not to eat deep-sea fish, and you can choose freshwater fish such as carp. Because the purine substances in freshwater fish are relatively low, the rich protein content is more beneficial to human health.
Academician Wang said that if patients with high uric acid do not want to suffer from gout, they should avoid these types of high-purine foods to prevent complications.
1.Broth
Most of the broth has been cooked for a long time, and the purine content has skyrocketed. Therefore, people with high uric acid should drink less broth on a regular basis, which can effectively prevent gout attacks.
2.Pork liver
Pork liver is a delicious and nutritious food, and it is often seen on the table. Pork liver is rich in iron and vitamins, for people with iron deficiency anemia, eating pork liver can effectively alleviate it, and at the same time have a certain nourishment for the body.
Pork liver has high nutritional value, but it is not suitable for everyone. If the uric acid is high, it is necessary to avoid the intake of pork liver, if you eat too much uric acid can not be controlled, the uric acid will continue to rise, and the number of gouts will increase. Over time, it can have serious health effects.
3.Alcohol
Our country's wine culture has a long history, and it has been passed down for thousands of years.
Although moderate drinking can dispel the cold and keep warm, and speed up the blood circulation in the body. However, for patients with high uric acid, it is not recommended that everyone drink alcohol, let alone eat foods containing alcohol.
Although the wine does not necessarily have a relatively high purine content, the lactic acid content in it is indeed high. Drinking too much will easily compete in the body for the opportunity to excrete uric acid. As a result, uric acid is not excreted, and uric acid levels tend to rise.
4.Seafood
Seafood is loved by many people because of its delicious taste, and some people often choose local seafood when they go to seaside cities, otherwise they will be sorry for their desire to play at that time.
Seafood is known to be relatively high in purines, especially scallops, shrimp, and crabs. For patients with hyperuricemia or gout, doctors will tell them to keep their mouths shut or too much uric acid will be deposited in the joints, which can aggravate the condition.
5.Legumes
Some people especially like to eat soy products in their lives, such as tofu, dried tofu, etc. However, according to the survey, it was found that legumes contain plant-based purine substances, which are relatively high.
Legumes such as lentils, peas, tofu, soy milk, soybeans, etc., all contain high amounts of purines. Therefore, friends who have too much uric acid or already have gout symptoms should not consume a large amount of legumes.
6.Sugar-sweetened beverages
Drinks have the highest sugar content and are not good for the body. Drinking too many sugary drinks will cause heart disease and diabetes, and obesity sugar will affect the metabolism of uric acid after entering the human body, thereby causing the continuous increase of blood uric acid levels in the body. For patients with gout, drinking drinks with higher sugar content can cause gout to a certain extent.
Barley has a diuretic and dampness effect, and its purine content is very low, for gout patients, attention should be paid to increasing the excretion of urine, so that the uric acid in the body can be discharged smoothly.
The main function of dandelion root tea is diuretic, gout patients urinate more, and can try to excrete uric acid in the body and not accumulate in the body. urinate more often, and it also excretes toxins from the body.
Tomatoes have a sweet and sour taste, so many people ignore that it is actually a typical alkaline food. If we can eat more tomatoes in our daily life, it can help us to eliminate excess uric acid in the blood, and gout may not be disturbed.
Celery is a natural enemy of high uric acid, and celery seeds are rich in potassium, which can prevent the accumulation of uric acid and promote the excretion of uric acid from the body with urine. Celery is also high in moisture, and eating more celery can also lower blood pressure.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that celery is sweet and cool, and has the effects of clearing heat, diuretic, lowering blood pressure, and removing fat. Celery is also high in nutritional value, rich in carotene, vitamins, as well as potassium, magnesium, sodium and other ingredients, so people with high uric acid can eat more.
