Uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism completed through the metabolic hormone levels in the body, intestinal peristalsis, and renal metabolic levels, the kidney’s filtration mechanism, and filtration levels help complete the normal life and activity in the body as a normal physiological response.
Uric acid is a substance widely present in various tissues and cells of the human body, and its presence is directly proportional to blood lipids and blood glucose. As long as it is maintained within normal range, it will not cause people’s awareness or adverse reactions in the body, or symptoms.
Clinically, the value of uric acid in the body is judged based on the detection data of urine routine. Uric acid is a purine substance in the body, and the disorders in tissue metabolism and metabolic turnover are clinical conditions that are completed. According to modern clinical medical research data, one-third of uric acid is excreted through the conversion function of various tissue cells and metabolic hormone levels in the body and the remaining two-thirds are excreted through the kidneys.
【1】Acute gouty arthritis
If uric acid remains elevated, it can lead to abnormal levels of intestinal and renal filtration, resulting in the accumulation of a large amount of uric acid, waste, and harmful toxins in the body, with the mechanism of joint damage resulting from acute attacks due to long-term overindulgence, excessive fatigue, exposure to dampness, certain medications, infections, and surgical procedures.
Persistent high uric acid levels can lead to oversaturation of bone and knee joints in the body, with excessive uric acid accumulation, forming needle-like crystals deposited in the joint synovial fluid. These crystals are recognized as foreign bodies by white blood cells and platelets in the body, leading to the release of large amounts of inflammatory factors, causing the characteristic onset of acute gouty arthritis.
【2】Gouty arthritis
Gouty arthritis primarily affects the pain sites and pathological features in the joints of the big toe and knee. Continuous high uric acid levels in the body affect the kidney’s filtration levels, liver’s detoxification performance, and disrupt the intestinal filtration status pathologically, causing the deposition of large amounts of uric acid urea and harmful toxins in the knee joint, triggering the clinical feature of local pain.
Gouty arthritis caused by uric acid has fluctuating characteristics, with the most common onset time for pain being between 2:00 and 4:00 in the early morning. The initial onset is commonly found in the legs and finger joints, and with the filtration reaction of uric acid and blood transport structure, it can even extend to the cartilage of the ears.
【3】Asymptomatic hyperuricemia
Through clinical blood routine tests and urine routine test data, the concentration of blood uric acid in the body is judged to see if there is an increase or disorder. However, joint inflammation or pain, and pathological lesions in the knee joint have not been found in the body.
Asymptomatic hyperuricemia and pathological reactions caused by elevated uric acid are more commonly seen in individuals who have never had high uric acid levels. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia can last for 15 to 25 years.
According to clinical experts and chief uric acid specialists, the measurement value for uric acid has been set at 210-420μmol/L to define individuals prone to this type of disease. The values differ between female and male bodies due to differences in endocrine hormone secretion. Female body’s urine routine measurement shows a normal uric acid range of 150-360μmol/L compared to males who have a stronger positive energy and renal filtration level, with a normal urine uric acid measurement exceeding 420μmol/L for males, and 360μmol/L for females, being diagnosed as clinical hyperuricemia or having potential gouty changes.
With the prevalence of current clinical uric acid values, the pathological diseases and characteristics of onset they bring to the body not only cause normal disturbances in the knee joints but can also lead to the precipitation of a large number of uric acid stones and toxic waste in the knee joints and other bone organs, triggering the characteristics of gout onset, causing acute onset arthritis, gouty stones, chronic arthritis, knee joint lesions, uric acid salts, kidney diseases, and uric acid urinary stones.
1. Stewed meat soup
For individuals with weakened immune systems or disrupted resistance levels resulting in the prevalence of pathological diseases or potential bone problems, supplementing the necessary nutrients for the body or boosting the immune system commonly relies on the principle of “eat what you lack to supplement what you need.” Meat-based foods contain high-quality calcium materials and various nutrients required for the activity of bodily tissues and the immune system. During the process of making stewed meat soup, a small amount of fat, additives, and purines present in the meat dissolve and precipitate in the water (high temperature and time are required). Cholesterol and purines contained in meat-based foods precipitate in the water, which prolonged consumption by gout patients and individuals with kidney stones and high uric acid levels can cause severe imbalances or persistently elevated uric acid levels, increasing the clinical risks of developing diseases.
2. Animal offal
Animal offal contains high-quality calcium materials, carotene, good fats, new elements, and insufficient magnesium elements, vitamins, and various trace elements effectively maintain the activity and metabolism hormone levels of bodily tissues, achieving the vitality required for bodily functions and metabolic hormones.
Cholesterol and purines present in animal offal are also prominent among meat-based foods. Prolonged consumption of these substances can lead to a rapid increase in blood pressure, blood lipids, and uric acid levels in the body. Excessive supplementation of the advantageous elements in animal offal can instead cause heavy metal poisoning in the body or elicit a pathological response.
3. Various seafood
The nutrients and substances found in seafood effectively maintain the normal secretion and functioning of the central nervous system in the brain and the immune system in the body, while also supplying the required vitamins, various nutrients, and nutritional value.
Although seafood is rich in nutrients compared to other meat products, it contains purines, cholesterol, and fats which are also significant among meat-based foods. Long-term consumption of these substances can affect uric acid production in the body, influence the kidney’s filtration status, and transport mechanism.
Prolonged consumption of seafood by individuals clinically diagnosed with hyperuricemia, hyperlipidemia, and gynecological diseases can lead to complications and inflammation in the body’s endocrine system, organs, and uterine fibroids, adversely affecting overall health.
Conclusively, high levels of uric acid and the uric acid levels in urine tests are usually overlooked clinical conditions that, while seemingly inconspicuous, are just as harmful to the body’s tissues and cells as conditions like hypertension, high blood lipids, etc. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and preventing pathological diseases of the kidneys are the primary preventive measures against the high incidence of these diseases.
