Now that people are eating better and better, there are more and more patients with high hyaluronic acid. My father doesn't pay attention to his diet and health at all. He especially likes to eat some fat meat, hot pot and other food. A few days ago, I took her to the hospital for physical examination and found that his uric acid was high. He was scared immediately. He always thought that he had gout, but there was no abnormality in his body, Many people do not know whether the examination of high uric acid, which department should be linked, what is the cause? Now I'll explain the cause of high uric acid.

What branch does uric acid hang high

First of all, if you suspect high uric acid, you can go to the Department of Endocrinology. If you find high uric acid, you don't have to be too afraid. Gout comes from high uric acid, but it doesn't mean that gout is inevitable if there is high uric acid. Gout occurs only when uric acid crystals in the blood deposit in the synovium of joints and cause synovitis. In fact, only about 10% of patients with high uric acid will have gout. Conversely, due to the complex pathogenic factors of gout, many patients may still have normal blood uric acid level when gout attacks. At this time, don't be superstitious in the test results and delay the timely treatment of gout.

Secondly, high uric acid can cause a variety of diseases. Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism in the human body. High uric acid has harmful effects on many tissues and organs of the human body. High uric acid deposition in the bones and joints will cause gout; deposition in the kidney will cause kidney disease, induce renal failure; high uric acid will greatly increase the risk of a variety of metabolic related diseases (such as obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc.) and cardiovascular disease.

Finally, high uric acid needs to be treated. There has been a long-standing controversy on this issue, but the academic community has basically agreed that no matter how "healthy" a person is, as long as the uric acid exceeds 520 μ mol/ 50. If the person has diabetes, chronic kidney disease or cardiovascular risk factors, as long as the uric acid is beyond the normal range, even if there is no gout attack, treatment should be started.

matters needing attention

If the patients with high uric acid must pay more attention to diet, many foods have more purine content. Patients try not to eat viscera, bone marrow, sea moss, fermented food, and beans. We must pay attention to the intake of purine. Protein can be taken according to body weight. Eat less meat and salt.
