Uric acid is still very high, and it's not just the joints that hurt. In addition to our brains, urate is almost everywhere, and vital organs can also be damaged. Therefore, if gout is not timely, for a long time, many complications and harms may occur.
1.The lurking "kidney killer": destroying the kidneys.
Uric acid crystals are deposited on the kidneys to form kidney stones, which will gradually wear down our delicate kidneys, causing serious damage and burden to the kidneys, resulting in renal insufficiency. The kidneys are precisely the important organs for the excretion of uric acid, as mentioned earlier, about 2 3 uric acid is excreted from the kidneys, and kidney function is very important for the excretion of uric acid!
Elevated uric acid can damage the kidneys. In turn, kidney damage can hinder uric acid excretion, further increasing uric acid. In this way, the vicious circle often leads to acute and chronic hyperuricemia, nephropathy, and even uremia, with unimaginable consequences.
2.Increased risk of chronic metabolic diseases.
Gout patients generally have a significantly reduced metabolic function of sugar and fat, so they are prone to various serious metabolic diseases. Gout is often accompanied by diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, etc. These diseases are like "good friends".
3.Increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Gout patients are mostly obese and prone to arteriosclerosis in the cardiovascular system, resulting in insufficient blood delivery to the heart, resulting in poor blood circulation function, especially in patients with hyperlipidemia gout. Gout is closely related to the development of cardiovascular disease gout
