With the improvement of living conditions, in addition to the three high problems of hypertension, high blood sugar and high blood lipids, the middle-aged and elderly people now have a high uric acid, which has become a type of disease that seriously affects human health.
According to the data, the incidence of adult males with high uric acid in mainland China is as high as 21.6%, while the incidence of women is also 8.6%.
In people's minds, poor uric acid control can lead to gout, so many people equate elevated uric acid with gout. In fact, in addition to causing gout, the increase in uric acid should pay more attention to the damage of uric acid to the kidneys.
Gout may be controlled with medication, and the pain can get better after a few days, but there is no way to reverse the kidney damage, and if not paid attention, it may lead to acute or chronic kidney damage, and even lead to kidney failure, which is life-threatening.
Elevated uric acid, in order to avoid kidney damage, 5 behaviors are not present
NO.1
Holding back urine
Holding urine is a very harmful behavior, especially for people with high uric acid, the harm of holding urine will be greater.
Uric acid in the urine is elevated, and continue to hold urine, which will lead to continuous concentration of urine, so that the amount of uric acid in the urine is seriously exceeded, and even crystals will precipitate and deposit in the kidneys, resulting in kidney stones, blocking the urethra, and forming a vicious circle.
In the long run, it will inevitably lead to a continuous decline in kidney function, which will aggravate kidney damage.
NO.2
Drink less water
Not thirsty and not drinking water is the current situation of most people in modern times, especially in winter, in order to reduce the number of times to go to the toilet, they will drink less water.
In addition to increased intake, another important reason for the increase in uric acid is decreased excretion. Drinking less water, urinating less, and reducing the excretion of uric acid are also important causes of elevated uric acid.
Especially for people whose uric acid has been elevated, drinking more water to promote the excretion of uric acid can easily lead to a continuous surge in uric acid in the body, thereby aggravating the damage to the kidneys.
NO.3
Drink more carbonated drinks
It has now been reported that kidney failure in adolescents is caused by drinking a large number of carbonated beverages.
Because carbonated drinks are not only high-sugar drinks, but also contain trans fatty acids, which have certain damage to the kidneys, and will also hinder the excretion of uric acid, which will lead to elevated uric acid.
Therefore, regardless of whether there is an increase in uric acid, it is usually necessary to drink less carbonated drinks, otherwise it will seriously affect the health of the body.
NO.4
drink
Drinking alcohol is a kind of behavior that hurts the liver and kidneys, and alcohol also belongs to the food of high purines, if you continue to drink, not only will uric acid soar, but also easily lead to gout, kidney damage and a series of complications.
Therefore, uric acid is elevated, and if you want to be healthy, you must pay attention to abstaining from alcohol. Even if you are a normal person, you must control the intake of alcohol, otherwise it will affect your health.
NO.5
Continue the diet of hyperpurines
There are generally no symptoms in the early stage of elevated uric acid, so even if the examination finds elevated uric acid, some people do not care very much and continue to eat high purines.
And fish and shrimp belong to white meat, many people think that it is a healthy food, they will not think that these foods belong to high purine food, and they will not think about controlling, resulting in rising uric acid and increasing the risk of kidney disease.
Moreover, when uric acid is elevated, there is a certain damage to the kidneys, and if you continue to eat too many high-protein foods, it will also increase the burden on the kidneys, thereby aggravating the disease and causing further damage to the kidneys.
Elevated uric acid will not only increase the risk of gout, the damage to the kidneys is also very large, we must pay attention to control the level of uric acid at the same time, pay attention to some behaviors that hurt the kidneys.
