Causes of high uric acid from drinking beer

Drinking beer causes high uric acid mainly because beer affects uric acid metabolism, such as through the influence of guanosine metabolism, lactate metabolism, and promote the conversion of adenine nucleotides and other ways. 1. Guanosine metabolism: beer is rich in guanosine, which is absorbed by the body and metabolized to produce purine, which is then converted into urea, causing the elevation of urea. 2. Lactic acid metabolism: alcohol in beer can be converted into lactic acid in the human body, and lactic acid can reduce the solubility of uric acid, preventing its excretion, resulting in uric acid retention in the body. 3. Promote the transformation of adenine nucleotides: after drinking a lot of beer, the alcohol concentration in the body rises, which can promote the decomposition of purine in the body, accelerating its transformation into uric acid. In addition, when drinking beer, usually accompanied by meat, sugar, seafood and other purine content is relatively high food intake, exacerbated the body of uric acid increase. In short, people with high uric acid should mainly control their diet, avoid the intake of high-purine foods, strictly abstain from alcohol, drink more water, to maintain good health. Patients with high uric acid are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals for standardized diagnosis and treatment.
