In general, starvation does not cause elevated uric acid.
Uric acid comes from both endogenous and exogenous sources, where endogenous refers to the synthesis of uric acid from its own compounds such as ribose phosphate and amino acids, as well as the metabolism of nucleic acids to produce uric acid. Exogenous refers to the formation of uric acid through the breakdown of nucleotides in food. Starvation means that the body is not consuming food or is consuming too little food, which usually does not cause an increase in uric acid.
Elevated uric acid is mainly related to the excessive production of uric acid, uric acid excretion disorders, such as a long period of time a large number of alcohol, seafood and other high-purine foods, resulting in the body’s intake of purine too much, it may cause uric acid elevation. Then again, such as inborn purine metabolism disorder, renal function impaired and other diseases, may also cause elevated uric acid.
Long-term elevated uric acid may cause hyperuricemia, gout and other diseases, in order to prevent the aggravation of the condition, uric acid elevated people are recommended to regular hospitals, rheumatology and immunology departments and other related departments for detailed consultation.
