Patients with uric acid nephropathy may experience symptoms such as edema, redness and swelling of joints, and back pain.
Uric acid nephropathy is a kidney disease that develops as a result of damage to the kidneys caused by hyperuricemia. The patient’s kidney function is damaged and unable to excrete excess water as well as metabolic wastes from the body, and edema may occur in the eyelids, face, ankles and other parts of the body.
Excessive production or decreased excretion of uric acid in patients can lead to gout. Patients may experience pain in the dorsum of the foot, ankle, heel, knee, wrist, and finger joints with localized symptoms of redness and swelling of the joints.
Patients with long-term elevation of uric acid can also develop uric acid stones, which have no obvious feeling in the early stage, and after the condition progresses, large uric acid stones are formed with symptoms such as intolerable back pain, and ultrasonography can find stone obstruction in the kidney.
If uric acid nephropathy has been diagnosed, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals in time, under the guidance of professional doctors to avoid delaying the condition.
