There is no evidence to prove that drinking tea will cause uric acid to rise, generally tea does not contain high purine, and does not affect uric acid excretion, and drinking tea will drink a lot of water, can dilute the concentration of blood uric acid, increase the excretion of uric acid. However, patients are not recommended to drink too strong tea. Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism, mainly produced by the cellular metabolism of nucleic acids and other purine compounds and the breakdown of purines in food by the action of enzymes. Whether you can drink tea with high uric acid depends on whether drinking tea has any effect on uric acid concentration. There are two main causes of high serum uric acid: increased uric acid production and decreased uric acid excretion, and sometimes both of them coexist. Increased uric acid production: mainly includes high purine dietary intake and increased endogenous purine metabolism. Food-induced uric acid production is proportional to the purine content of food, and purine-rich foods include animal liver, kidney, anchovies, etc. The increase of endogenous purine metabolism in the body is mainly related to the synthesis and decomposition of purine. Decreased uric acid excretion: About 2/3 of uric acid is excreted through the kidneys, and the remaining 1/3 is excreted through extrarenal pathways such as the intestinal tract and biliary tract. About 90% of patients with persistent hyperuricemia have defects in renal processing of uric acid and show reduced uric acid excretion, including reduced glomerular filtration rate, increased renal tubular reabsorption, reduced renal tubular secretion and uric acid crystals deposition. Therefore, drinking tea in general will not lead to an increase in uric acid concentration, if you can therefore drink more water instead of facilitating the excretion of uric acid, it is possible to drink. However, if the tea is rich in purines, patients are not recommended to drink it. You can drink tea reasonably under the guidance of a clinician.
