Drinking beverages may lead to elevated uric acid, especially beverages with high sucrose and fructose content and alcoholic beverages.
Beverages refer to all liquids for human consumption, including tea, soft drinks, wine, fruit juices, dairy products, etc. Some of them may contain high levels of fructose, sucrose, and alcohol, and beverages containing sucrose, fructose, and alcohol can lead to excessive production of uric acid and impaired excretion of uric acid, which will result in an increase in the concentration of blood uric acid in the body, and thus may cause an increase in the concentration of uric acid in the human body.
Patients who need to control blood uric acid level may choose beverages with low sugar content, low purine content and no alcohol, such as tea, skimmed milk or coffee without sugar. In addition, patients who need to control blood uric acid level should also pay attention to eat less crustaceans, asparagus and animal offal and other foods with high purine content.
Patients with high uric acid can go to the endocrinology department of regular hospitals, rheumatology and immunology departments and other related departments for detailed consultation.
