real harmness of high blood uric acid



Blood uric acid is one of the most common physical examination project. Many elevated uric acid abnormal found in physical examination (high uric acid hematic disease), but did not add value because no self-conscious symptom.
Many doctors don't attach importance to high uric acid hematic disease. Because practice show that only about 10% of high uric acid hematic disease will develop into the "gout". Gout to joints happened all of a sudden severe pain as the main clinical characteristics, often involving the foot, ankle, knee, wrist, finger joints in areas such as. Pain can alleviate by oneself, but will break out repeatedly
Gout is the basic pathological basis of abnormal blood uric acid concentration increases (i.e., high uric acid hematic disease). Abnormally elevated uric acid concentration in the blood to a certain extent (> 420 umol/L, 70 mg/L), uric acid concentrations for "supersaturated" state, will form the uric acid salt crystallization, and deposition in the foot, ankle, knee, wrist, finger joints and other parts, the resulting sharp unbearable pain (analogous to wound top sa salt) in general. And once the uric acid salt precipitation, blood uric acid concentration is decreased, so the uric acid salt precipitate not continuously, after being soft tissue tolerance uric acid salt, the pain can reduce or disappear. But the cause is not in addition to, when the concentration of blood uric acid accumulation reaches "supersaturated" again, uric acid salt precipitation again, cause recurrent pain.
High uric acid hematic disease mechanism is not yet fully elucidated, except a handful of patients associated with hereditary enzyme defect, think at present, most of the patients is associated with lifestyle.
Except the gout and high uric acid hematic disease also increases the risk of diseases of the cardiovascular system
. Therefore, you must give attaches great importance to high uric acid hematic disease. In daily life, should take the following measures:
1. Avoid high purine food, mainly animal internal organs, most seafood and fish, beer, meat and so on, as far as possible choose milk, eggs, low purine food such as grain, vegetables and fruits. But must pay attention to the long-term low purine food cause protein nutrition is not enough, we should pay attention to limit the extent of the high protein food and the time, do not blindly kept under strict control. On the premise of avoiding high purine, adequate intake of protein, which means that the recipe to have a moderate amount of milk and eggs.
2. Avoid obesity, have obese people to lose weight, but avoid excessive hunger (gout).
3. Reduce the amount of fat intake and fat for energy.
4. Eat less sweet food and sugar, don't eat honey.
5. Choose alkalescent food more, such as vegetables, fruits, milk, etc., help to uric acid excretion. Promoting uric acid excretion is more effective method is to use sodium bicarbonate (baking soda or soda water).
6. Every day more than 1500 ~ 2000 ml of drinking water, can choose plain boiled water, mineral water, light tea, juice, etc., mineral water, pure water and carbonated drinks is not the best choice. An alkaline water helps to uric acid excretion.
7. Alcohol, especially beer. Tea and coffee is harmful or beneficial for uric acid excretion, at present did not form a unified understanding.
8. Appropriately increase exercise or physical activity, but avoid strenuous exercise and physical activity (gout).
9. To stop taking aspirin, because aspirin increases blood uric acid levels (must also consult a doctor
