You accidentally went for a health check and discovered that your uric acid level in your blood was high. Don't be subjective, but find a way to improve it as soon as possible because this is a factor that causes gout.
Causes of high blood uric acid levels
According to experts, there are many reasons for high blood uric acid levels. There are two main groups of causes for high blood uric acid levels, which are:
- Increased uric acid synthesis: Unhealthy diet, patients consume a lot of protein-rich foods such as seafood, beef, dog meat, animal organs... People who are overweight, obese or have certain diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic syndrome... In addition, the use of drugs such as diuretics, drugs to treat high blood pressure, pain relievers for a long time... also has the risk of increasing uric acid synthesis.
- The process of uric acid excretion is limited: Kidney function is impaired due to diseases such as kidney stones, kidney failure, reduced glomerular filtration rate... causing uric acid to not be excreted and accumulate in the body, causing increased blood uric acid concentration.
Eating a lot of seafood is one of the causes of increased uric acid in the blood.
Risk of gout in people with hyperuricemia
In normal people, the blood uric acid concentration for men is below 7.0 mg/dl (420 micromol/l), for women is below 6.0 mg/dl (360 micromol/l). When the blood uric acid concentration is higher than this threshold, the patient is at high risk of developing gout.
High uric acid levels over a long period of time will form urate salt crystals. These crystals tend to deposit in the joints and kidneys. In the joints, urate crystals damage tissues and cause arthritis. In the kidneys, urate crystals deposit in the renal interstitial tissue, renal pelvis, ureter... forming stones. This affects the kidney's filtering function and, more dangerously, causes kidney failure.
What to do when uric acid level in blood is high?
High blood uric acid levels over a long period of time can lead to gout and many other complications. Therefore, as soon as an abnormally high blood uric acid level is detected, patients need to have methods to promptly improve this condition. Here are some specific methods:
Adjust your diet scientifically and reasonably
Some notes for patients to have a more scientific and reasonable diet are as follows:
- Reduce the amount of protein in your diet, limit foods rich in purines such as seafood, red meat, animal organs...
- Limit the use of carbonated soft drinks because they contain high fructose content.
- Do not eat foods rich in fat such as fat, animal skin, fast food, processed foods, fried foods...
- Some spices such as chili, pepper... should also be limited in use because they can cause gout attacks to recur.
- Choose lean meats, low-fat dairy products, and skinless poultry.
- You should use vegetables low in purines and high in fiber such as cabbage, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, etc.
- You should drink about 2-3 liters of filtered water every day to make the process of eliminating uric acid easier.
People with hyperuricemia should add more green vegetables to their diet.
Use of western medicine
To reduce uric acid levels in the blood to the allowable threshold, the doctor may prescribe the patient to use Western medicine for treatment. There are 3 groups of drugs to treat hyperuricemia as follows:
- Drugs that reduce uric acid synthesis in the blood: This group of drugs has the ability to inhibit the enzyme xanthine oxidase (XO) - this is an enzyme necessary for the synthesis of uric acid. When the XO enzyme is inhibited, the synthesis of uric acid will be interrupted, reducing the concentration of this substance in the blood. Some typical drugs in this group are allopurinol, febuxostat...
- Drugs that increase uric acid excretion in the blood: This is the second group of drugs chosen if the patient is contraindicated or does not respond to the above drugs that reduce uric acid synthesis in the blood. This group of drugs helps increase uric acid excretion through the urinary tract, thereby reducing uric acid levels in the blood. People with kidney problems should not use drugs in this group.
- Urate-dissolving drugs: This group has two common drugs: pegloticase and rasburicase. With the mechanism of adding uricase enzyme to the body, thereby converting uric acid into allantoin which is water-soluble and easily excreted through the kidneys.
Use western medicine to reduce uric acid in the blood as prescribed by your doctor.
