High uric acid and high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high blood lipids and called "four high", according to statistics, the mainland currently has up to 180 million high uric acid patients, and this data is still rising.
High uric acid is closely related to gout, if the uric acid level is not effectively controlled, a large amount of uric acid accumulates in the body, which will eventually cause gout, thus bringing greater harm to the body.
Therefore, if you find that your uric acid level is too high, you must adjust it in time to reduce the uric acid to normal levels, so as to avoid the occurrence of gout. So what are the manifestations of high uric acid?
1. Joint enlargement and pain
The level of uric acid in the body is too high, a large amount of uric acid will be deposited in the blood, and then form urate crystals, these urate crystals flow into the joint with the blood, can cause acute inflammation of the joint, causing joint swelling, pain symptoms. Patients often experience pain at night, are awakened by pain, and have recurring symptoms.
2. Obesity
There is also a strong link between high uric acid and obesity, both of which are metabolic diseases. The level of uric acid in the body is too high, which will affect the speed of blood circulation, and will also lead to the impact of metabolism, and the fat and energy ingested by the human body cannot be well decomposed, excreted, and accumulated in the body, which will cause obesity. Obesity, in turn, leads to insulin resistance, which further leads to elevated uric acid.
3. Frequent night up or oligouria and nouria
Normal people do not urinate more than 1 to 2 times at night, if the recent night is too frequent, always feel that the bladder is swollen badly, excluding the factor of excessive drinking, it is likely to be caused by high uric acid.
This is because too much uric acid can impair kidney function, which in turn can affect normal urination. In addition, because urate crystals are deposited in the kidneys, blocking the renal tubules and causing urinary tract obstruction, symptoms of oliguria and anuria may also occur.
4. The body is tired and cannot be relieved after resting
Staying up late, lack of sleep, and overwork may lead to fatigue during the day, but if you clearly sleep enough and do not engage in heavy physical labor, you always feel tired during the day, which is likely to be related to too much uric acid.
Uric acid in the body is too high, can lead to endocrine dysfunction, metabolic abnormalities, resulting in general weakness, in addition to uric acid too high will also make the body in a state of dehydration, always feel thirsty at night, affect normal sleep, thereby causing physical exhaustion.
5. Body edema
If the uric acid level is too high, it is easy to block the glomeruli, affecting its function of metabolizing water, and the excess water is trapped in the body, which can cause symptoms of body edema. Therefore, if you always find eyelids and calf puffiness when you wake up early recently, you must pay attention to it and go to the hospital for examination in time.
6. Abnormal blood pressure and blood sugar
Uric acid is too high, and urate crystals can also damage islet cells, reducing the body's sensitivity to insulin, resulting in elevated blood sugar. In addition, too much uric acid can also affect the motor function of blood vessels, which increases blood pressure. Therefore, if the blood pressure and blood sugar suddenly rise recently, we must also be vigilant whether it is caused by too much uric acid.
The above is the main manifestation of high uric acid, high uric acid is closely related to gout, if there are the above several manifestations, we must pay attention to it, check it in time to the hospital, if uric acid is indeed high, you can reduce uric acid levels by taking uric acid-lowering drugs, in addition to the usual attention to dietary conditioning, do not eat high purine food, drink more water, promote urination, can help reduce uric acid, prevent the occurrence of gout.
