Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism, mainly produced by the cellular metabolism decomposition of nucleic acids and other purine compounds as well as purines in food by the action of enzymes decomposition. Whether you can drink tea with high uric acid and what tea is good to drink 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 endogenous purine metabolism to produce two aspects. 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 a defect in renal processing of uric acid and show reduced uric acid excretion, including reduced glomerular filtration rate, increased tubular reabsorption, reduced tubular secretion and urate crystallization. There is no evidence to prove that drinking tea will lead to an increase in uric acid, generally tea does not contain high purines and does not affect uric acid excretion, and drinking tea will drink a lot of water, which can dilute the concentration of blood uric acid and increase the excretion of uric acid. However, patients are not recommended to drink too strong tea. Therefore, drinking tea in general will not lead to an increase in uric acid concentration, and if you can drink more water because of this is beneficial to the excretion of uric acid, you can drink it. However, if the tea is rich in purines, it is not recommended that patients drink it.
