Patients with uremia can present with hyperuricemia, and persistent hyperuricemia may also lead to uremia.
Chronic renal failure progressing to end-stage renal disease is also known as uremic stage. Various electrolyte metabolism disorders and acid-base balance imbalance often occur in chronic renal failure. Due to glomerular filtration dysfunction, there can be a decrease in uric acid filtration and an increase in blood uric acid concentration, when the uric acid concentration is greater than 420 μmol/L, it is called hyperuricemia.
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism, produced by cellular metabolic catabolism of nucleic acids and the breakdown of purines in food, and is mainly excreted by the kidneys. Most of the patients with persistent hyperuricemia can lead to impaired renal function, the continued development of uremia; at the same time, patients with uremia due to reduced glomerular filtration rate, impaired excretion of uric acid, there can also be elevated uric acid phenomenon.
If you suffer from uremia or elevated uric acid, you should consult a regular hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
