Nowadays, although people are living in good conditions, there are many people who are suffering from diseases and are accompanied by drugs for years. In particular, patients with hyperlipidemia are required to take lipid-lowering drugs statins for a long time. This brings us to the question of whether the prolonged use of medication will cause some damage to the body, especially the liver and kidneys, and will it cause elevated uric acid due to the use of medication? I believe this is also the main concern of hyperlipidemia patients. Statin lipid-lowering drugs are commonly used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Patients with high blood lipids, especially those with high cholesterol, often need to take statin lipid-lowering drugs. According to current research, statin lipid-lowering drugs are found to be effective in lowering patients’ LDL cholesterol levels and also have the effect of lowering uric acid. However, studies have also found that long-term use of statins may damage the liver and kidneys, such as pravastatin, which has the effect of raising blood uric acid and may cause gout in the long term. In fact, statins, even if they can cause an increase in blood uric acid, are not their main side effect, so there is no need to worry too much. If a patient who has been taking statins for a long time suddenly develops joint pain and other symptoms, he should go to the hospital and have his blood uric acid checked in time. If it is indeed caused by gout, the medication should be reduced or stopped according to medical advice. If necessary, you should also take drugs for gout such as allopurinol under the guidance of a doctor, and use appropriate physical therapy or treatment with Chinese medicine for specific cases. Even if there are no obvious symptoms, long-term medication users should have their blood uric acid checked once every 3 months. For patients with hyperlipidemia, it is necessary to take medication to control it, but you should not put all your hopes on the medication. It is a medicine with three toxins, and prolonged use can damage the liver and kidney function, and can also easily lead to other pathologies in the body. It is best to take care of your lifestyle at the same time, low fat, low protein, low sugar, low salt diet; drink more water, appropriate skim milk and dairy products, less sugary drinks and carbonated beverages; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables; drink less alcohol, especially not beer, yellow wine and white wine, etc.
