Why do such conditions arise? And how does it endanger health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>High uric acid: causes, symptoms and treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uric acid is formed in the body as a result of the metabolism of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although a small part is formed during the breakdown of purine, a type of protein present in the food we eat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more protein we get, the more uric acid the body produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uric acid usually does not cause health problems if it is functionally excreted by the kidneys.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem arises when its level increases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is when the body produces too much uric acid or does not remove it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, hard crystals are formed, which settle on the joints, causing severe pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The main causes of increased uric acid content:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excessive production by the body itself;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Problems with excretion through the kidneys;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Improper nutrition with an excess of protein-rich foods;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumption of alcohol and other harmful substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In addition, there are several risk factors that increase the likelihood of the disease:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular use of large amounts of caffeine;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Constant consumption of alcohol;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Family history of gout;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use of iodine X-ray contrast;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stressful situations;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High uric acid levels may not cause symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although one of the main consequences of this problem is the appearance of gout, due to the accumulation of acid crystals deposited in the joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Other symptoms:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joint pain, swelling and redness;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Difficulty moving the joints, especially in the fingers, knees, ankles, heels and toes;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deformations occur in severely affected joints;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stubborn kidney stones are also common.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This causes deep, severe pain in the lower back and difficulty urinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treatment aimed at normalizing uric acid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It is based on diet:<\/strong>&nbsp;minimizing or eliminating foods high in purine and drinking plenty of water with low mineral content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To relieve the pain caused by inflammation of the joints, the patient is prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doctors also often prescribe drugs that block the absorption of urates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of gout prevention, there are xanthine oxidase inhibitors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it is not recommended to use them only when joint pain occurs, as the condition may worsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is very important to change your diet to lower your uric acid levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here are some of the products to look out for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artichoke<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Onion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celery<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pumpkin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carrot<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strawberries<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citrus fruits<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eggs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Water with low mineralization<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And these are the products that are prohibited:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red meat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mussels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Types of fish<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spinach<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mushrooms<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cauliflower<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asparagus<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alcohol<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carbonated drinks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to prevent all this<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid increasing uric acid levels, you should follow some tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have risk factors, see your doctor once a year to monitor your condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drink anti-inflammatory and diuretic infusions twice a week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chamomile and horsetail are recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drink at least two liters of water a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t eat seafood or red meat too much or too often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always consult your doctor about any questions you may have about your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be healthy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have probably heard many times about hyperuricemia, it
