Due to today’s run -of -the -mill life and our deteriorated food habits, many diseases are flourishing in the body. One of these is the problem of uric acid, which is directly related to our wrong eating. When uric acid in the body increases, it can cause many serious problems. By the way, uric acid is a waste product made in our body. Whatever we eat, especially it is made up of the orbzabation of things with purin. Generally, our kidney filters it and removes it through urine.
Sometimes either our body starts making excess uric acid, or the kidney is not able to get it out properly. In such a situation, these uric acid starts accumulating in our blood, which is called hyperuricmia in medical language. When these extra uric acid grows in the blood, they become small, pointed crystals. Think, small pieces of glass! These crystals then start accumulating in our joints and other parts of the body and it starts from here a lot of painful and serious problems.
These problems occur due to increasing uric acid
- Unbearable pain of gout or joints: This is the most common and most painful result of increasing uric acid. When these uric acid crystals enter our joints, suddenly there is so much pain that you do not even move. Often this pain occurs in toes, ankles, knees and fingers. The joint in which it happens, it becomes swollen, turns red and looks very hot when touched.
- Kidney Stone: Increased uric acid is not limited to joints, it can also make crystals in our kidneys. These crystals grow slowly and become stones. If this stones become big, then it can block the path of urination. This can cause problems like lower back or stomach pain, blood in urine, frequent urination, vomiting and nausea.
- Kidney Damage: Our kidney job is to filter dirt with blood, including uric acid. When uric acid is constantly increased, our kidneys have a lot of burden. These crystals gradually begin to harm the inner parts of the kidney, which further increases the risk of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure.
- High blood pressure: Perhaps you are surprised to know, but research shows that increased uric acid may be associated with high blood pressure. Uric acid can shrink our blood vessels and make them hard. Due to this, the flow of blood is not done properly and your blood pressure increases.
- Metabolic syndrome: Metabolic syndrome is a bundle of many health problems, including obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides around the stomach. Many research suggests that uric acid can play an important role in increasing insulin resistance, which is a major cause of metabolic syndrome.
- Risk of heart disease: When uric acid levels are high, it can cause swelling and stress in our blood vessels. This damages the inner layer of vessels and makes them hard and less flexible. Over time, it can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart diseases and even sudden heart attack.
