The causes of elevated uric acid include lifestyle factors, underlying diseases, and organic causes.
1. Life factors: patients consume high-purine food, such as animal offal, anchovies, etc., and drink a lot of alcohol, will cause the body to increase uric acid production, uric acid elevation; strenuous exercise will also cause the body to increase uric acid production, and then uric acid elevation.
2. Underlying diseases: when patients with severe epileptic status epilepticus seizures, can cause a large number of skeletal muscle ATP decomposition, accelerating the production of a large number of purines, resulting in increased uric acid; myocardial infarction will also cause a large number of ATP decomposition into purines, resulting in increased uric acid.
3. Organism reasons: some patients with high uric acid may be the glomerular filtration rate is reduced, may also be the body there are some carboxylates, can promote uric acid reabsorption increase, such as lactic acid, acetoacetic acid, β-hydroxybutyric acid, etc., and finally lead to reduced uric acid excretion, which in turn caused the uric acid elevation.
It is recommended that patients with high uric acid go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the relevant examination to clarify the cause, and actively treat under the guidance of specialists. At the same time, pay attention to prohibit the consumption of high purine food, quit drinking, quit smoking and so on.
