Symptoms of high uric acid

In fact, I believe that everyone is relatively unfamiliar with high uric acid, not very familiar with it, or even has never heard of it. However, we are relatively familiar with diseases such as gout. In fact, such a situation will cause diseases such as gout. Let us take a look at the manifestations of high uric acid.

Symptoms:

There are different manifestations at different stages.

1. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia: Blood tests can reveal elevated uric acid levels, but no clinical symptoms such as arthritis, hyperuricemia, or kidney stones are present.

shape. 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 and drinking, 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 of the joints. The crystals are regarded as foreign by the white blood cells in the body and are phagocytosed. After being phagocytosed, inflammatory factors are released, causing acute attacks.

Uric acid is the main metabolite of birds and reptiles. It is slightly soluble in water and easily forms crystals. The main product in normal human urine is urea, which contains a small amount of uric acid. Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism. It is a trioxypurine, and its alcohol form is weakly acidic. Uric acid generated by oxidation of various purines is excreted in urine. Due to its low solubility, excessive amount of it in the body may cause urinary stones or gout.

The above article has given you a detailed introduction to the symptoms of high uric acid. I believe you have already had a preliminary understanding of it, so you should still pay attention to the occurrence of such a situation in your daily life. Once you find it, you should go to the hospital for a more detailed examination.
