What are the symptoms of high blood uric acid?

Serum uric acid is the uric acid component in the blood, and high serum uric acid also has a great impact on human health. Clinically, the symptoms of high blood uric acid are also very obvious. People with high blood uric acid may have different symptoms, and high blood uric acid may also be accompanied by wind symptoms.

1. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia: Blood tests may reveal an increased blood uric acid concentration, but no clinical symptoms such as arthritis, hyperuricemia or kidney stones appear. During this period, it is generally difficult to detect unless a test is done. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia may last for 10 to 20 years, and some people may never develop hyperuricemia throughout their lives. Generally speaking, the higher the blood uric acid level, the greater the risk of hyperuricemia.

2. Acute hyperuricemia arthritis: It can occur in all seasons, but is most common in spring and autumn. Local joint injury, overeating, excessive fatigue, damp and cold, certain medications, infection and surgical operations can all trigger acute attacks. These factors can cause the already supersaturated uric acid to form needle-shaped crystals that are deposited in the synovial fluid. The crystals are regarded as foreign by the white blood cells in the body and are swallowed up. After being swallowed up, inflammatory factors are released, causing acute attacks.

3. Gouty arthritis: The common attack sites are the thumb joint, ankle joint, knee joint, etc. Some patients with long-term gout may experience attacks in the finger joints or even the soft tissue part of the ear. The site of acute gout attack becomes red, swollen, hot and painful. It usually occurs at midnight and can wake people from sleep. In the early stages of gout, attacks often occur in the lower limbs. Gout can also cause kidney damage.

4. Eat more vegetables, drink more water, mineral water and Yiyuan herbal tea to slowly recuperate. Eat less beans and foods high in iron. It is recommended to eat more vegetarian food such as vegetables and fruits and not drink alcohol. Do not eat seafood, especially squid, cuttlefish, shrimp and crab. Do not eat mushrooms, especially shiitake mushrooms. The diet should be light, less greasy and less salty, and more whole grains.
