High levels of uric acid can lead to gouty arthritis after deposition in the joints. Patients may experience redness, swelling, heat, pain, and impaired movement of the joints. Elevated uric acid levels can cause significant kidney damage and can lead to gouty nephropathy, with patients experiencing large amounts of proteinuria, leading to kidney failure and even uremia. Repeated hyperuricemia can lead to urinary stones, and studies have confirmed the relationship between excessive uric acid levels and coronary heart disease, hypertension, and cerebrovascular disease, which means that high uric acid levels increase the risk of heart attack and cerebral infarction, and can also lead to increased blood pressure.
