The "asymptomatic" mentioned here refers to the fact that many people are simply high in blood uric acid, and there is no manifestation of gout, uric acid kidney stones, uric acid kidney disease, and gout stones. Possible causes include the following:
1. The history of high uric acid is not long, and the excess uric acid has not been deposited enough in joints, kidneys and other tissues;
2. The value of uric acid is not very high, and the concentration of uric acid does not cause damage to joints, kidneys and other tissues;
3. Usually the fluctuation amplitude of uric acid is not large. If a sudden drinking or high-purine diet leads to a sharp increase in uric acid for a short period of time, the amplitude of fluctuations increases, resulting in a large difference in the concentration of uric acid in the blood and joints, and a large amount of uric acid deposition in the joints, it may lead to the onset of gout.
It should be noted that the presence of high uric acid should not be ignored because there are no symptoms. It is still necessary to control uric acid levels through lifestyle adjustments under the guidance of a doctor and, if necessary, to add uric acid-lowering drugs.
