Drinking alcohol causes uric acid to rise because the excretion of uric acid is inhibited and the production of uric acid increases.
1. The discharge of uric acid is inhibited: the act of drinking alcohol will lead to the entry of alcohol into the body, and the metabolism of alcohol into the body produces lactic acid, lactic acid will inhibit the excretion of uric acid in the renal tubules. This causes uric acid to rise.
2. Increased uric acid production: Increased uric acid production is also one of the reasons why drinking alcohol leads to elevated uric acid. Alcohol into the human body will promote the conversion of adenine nucleotides, will accelerate the body of adenine nucleoside triphosphate decomposition speed, which is also prompted by the increase in uric acid.
Long-term excessive alcohol consumption is likely to lead to a sustained increase in uric acid levels, contributing to the formation of hyperuricemia and gout, so individuals should pay attention to limiting alcohol on a daily basis, especially to avoid excessive alcohol consumption. If you find abnormal uric acid levels, you should go to the hospital in a timely manner and receive standardized diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of your doctor.
