Elevated uric acid refers to a disorder in the metabolism of purines in the body, resulting in elevated uric acid in the blood. The causes of elevated uric acid include genetic factors, high energy consumption, metabolic syndrome, and secondary to other diseases.
1. Genetic factors: the occurrence of hyperuricemia has the phenomenon of family aggregation, that is, more people suffering from gout in their own family, the possibility of blood uric acid elevation is greater.
2. Large amount of energy consumption: when strenuous exercise, major surgery, alcoholism, radiotherapy and other treatments, due to the body’s large amount of energy consumption produces xanthine, this material can be further metabolism decomposition of uric acid, resulting in the body of the blood uric acid level rises.
3. Metabolic syndrome: obesity, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, elevated blood uric acid and other concurrent symptoms of metabolic syndrome, that is, the body’s nutritional metabolism is abnormal, a variety of metabolic pathways at the same time, but also affect each other.
4. Secondary to other diseases: elevated uric acid often exists in hematological diseases, such as leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma or malignant tumors after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, due to excessive generation of uric acid in the process, high uric acid will occur. If the urinary system of renal tubular secretion is reduced, glomerular filtration rate is reduced, uric acid excretion can be reduced leading to hyperuricemia.
There are many reasons for elevated blood uric acid, you need to go to the hospital in time for further examination to find the specific causes of elevated uric acid and take targeted treatment.
