Uric acid is a metabolic product of purine nucleotides in the body. 80% of purine nucleotides are produced by cellular metabolism and 20% by diet, so blood uric acid levels are greatly influenced by diet. The daily metabolism of uric acid is mainly excreted from the kidneys. The maximum solubility of uric acid in the blood is 420 μmol/L, beyond which uric acid salts tend to crystallize and deposit in tissues and cause inflammatory lesions, for example, in joints, which causes the well-known gouty arthritis. What is the cause of high uric acid? What causes high uric acid?
First of all, it is important to understand where uric acid comes from. First of all, acute uric acid nephropathy, we are not unfamiliar with it, it is a kind of body uric acid production caused by a sharp increase in acute renal failure, and chronic uric acid nephropathy is the progress of acute uric acid nephropathy, manifested as back pain, increased nocturia and blood pressure, and even proteinuria and hematuria and other symptoms. But the initial symptoms are not obvious, often when the symptoms are serious, it means that the kidney is seriously damaged.
Secondly, the incidence of gouty kidney stones is also quite high. When uric acid accumulates over time and gradually increases, the possibility of kidney stones increases, mostly manifesting as intermittent attacks in the lower back and upper abdomen, accompanied by pain, which can also radiate to the surrounding area.
In addition, hyperuricemia is also very common to damage the kidneys. High uric acid can bring all kinds of illnesses and torments to our body, besides the usual attention in diet. Common medications only focus on lowering uric acid, and over time the kidneys start to lesion and cause many complications. In addition, for the problem of high uric acid, the diet on weekdays must not be ignored .
1, drink more water, keep 1500 to 3000 ml daily, drink a small number of times to help uric acid discharge.
2, prohibit alcohol, alcohol is easy to make the body lactic acid accumulation, the uric acid discharge has an inhibitory effect, easy to induce gout; strict abstinence from alcohol, beer plus seafood is absolutely prohibited. Beer itself contains alcohol, will make the excretion of uric acid is affected; and the process of alcohol oxidation, will produce some substances, so that the uric acid increased. Seafood contains purine and protein, a large intake of protein will put our body in a slightly acidic environment, which will promote the formation of uric acid crystals; in addition, short-term intake of large amounts of seafood, a large amount of purine will make a sharp increase in uric acid. Although our dietary factors only account for 10% to 20% of uric acid, but a short period of time to eat a lot of seafood leads to a sharp rise in uric acid, and then drink to affect excretion.
3, avoid eating a lot of high purine food, like peanuts, beef, pork, seafood, such as animal offal, sardines, tuna, beans and fermented foods; fish and shrimp, fresh meat, peas, spinach, wine, etc.! Avoid eating stewed or marinated meat.
4, the amount of protein in the daily diet should be controlled at about 1 gram per kilogram of body weight, animal offal heart, liver, intestines, kidneys, brain and broth, etc. and sardines, shrimp, shellfish and other seafood should be eaten sparingly.
5, the diet of vegetables and fruits milk is not limited, eat less salt, should be limited to 2 grams to 5 grams per day.
6, the daily diet structure, mainly carbohydrates, carbohydrates can promote uric acid excretion, you can use refined white rice, rich flour, corn, steamed buns, noodles, etc..
7.Avoid overexertion, stress, cold, joint injury and other triggering factors;
8, should not use drugs that inhibit the discharge of uric acid.
9, eat less fat, because fat can reduce uric acid excretion.
High uric acid should also pay attention to the following points.
1, do not eat seafood anymore, especially squid, cuttlefish, shrimp, crab.
2, do not eat mushrooms, especially shiitake mushrooms, parsley, nori.
3, eat less meat, especially animal offal.
4, do not side drink, especially beer dotted not to sip.
5, the diet should be light, less greasy and less salt, eat more coarse grains good
6, a happy spirit, continue to dance, and frequent check-ups.
