Many people find that their uric acid is elevated during the physical examination, so they are very nervous and hurriedly find a doctor for consultation.
What is the relationship between uric acid and gout?
Gout is a condition caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood that cause uric acid crystals to be deposited in and around the joints, leading to painful inflammatory episodes in and around the joints.
If gout occurs repeatedly, it can easily cause the formation of tophi and the appearance of joint deformities.
It can be seen that there is indeed a close relationship between gout and uric acid, and the reason why gout occurs is that uric acid is elevated.
But isn't it true that as long as uric acid is high, gout will definitely occur?
That's not necessarily, many people find elevated uric acid during a physical examination, in fact, they don't have any discomfort, no redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints, no tophi, and no joint deformities.
But does this mean that high uric acid is not harmful?
Of course not, high uric acid is the same as high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids, it doesn't seem to be harmful at first, but after a long time, the impact will come.
Many people have actually found high uric acid during physical examination, there was a chance to lower uric acid, uric acid down, gout naturally will not occur, but he does not listen, uric acid is high, he not only does not want to lower, still maintain some bad Xi, as a result, over time, continuous high uric acid has caused damage to the body.
For people who listen to the doctor, it is completely different, half a year ago I met a male patient, the physical examination uric acid value reached 700, which is already very high, because the blood uric acid value of adult men is 208-416, the doctor advised the male patient to quickly change bad Xi, otherwise gout will come soon.
Fortunately, this male patient listened to the doctor's words very much, and immediately began to change his unhealthy Xi habits after returning home, he used to drink alcohol every day and quit drinking! He used to smoke every day and quit smoking! He used to love animal offal, seafood, and fatty meat, and stayed away! He didn't like to exercise before, but now he insists on moving every day! He didn't like to drink water before, but now he has completely changed this bad Xi! I didn't like to eat vegetables and fruits before, but now I have changed.
After a month, the male patient's uric acid has declined, and after another two months, the uric acid is only 500, and after three months, the uric acid has been normal, and now it is rechecked again in half a year, and the uric acid is 246, which is very standard!
The patient clasped the doctor's hand and said, thank you, doctor, it was you who made me stop in time and let me recover to my health.
In fact, he has nothing to thank for the doctor, but for himself.
Everything is the result of his hard work.
He defeated bad Xi, defeated himself, and drove away the gout that was coming soon.
What's more, after this time, he has developed a vital good Xi habits, which are too important for the rest of his life, and of course it's a good thing!
Therefore, for obedient patients, it is really not a bad thing to find high uric acid, and it should even be celebrated, the doctor is really not talking back.
Many people do physical examinations every year, but have you ever calmed down and thought about what the meaning of physical examinations is?
As soon as some people do a physical examination, they throw the report sheet away, and the next physical examination depends on their mood.
As soon as some people have a physical examination, a series of bad Xi habits can be immediately changed, and they can develop a good Xi habit of regular check-ups.
The answer is clear which kind of physical examination is more meaningful.
The reason for high uric acid is that most of them are caused by unhealthy life Xi habits, and finding high uric acid is found to correct these unhealthy bad Xi habits in time, and developing a good Xi habit of regular physical examination is undoubtedly a safety lock for health.
