hyperuric acid is also known as the fourth highest after " hypertension , hyperglycemia , and hyperlipidemia". However, many people have far insufficient understanding of the harm of high uric acid, and believe that as long as it does not cause gout, it doesn’t matter if it is high. But in fact, high uric acid will "harm" multiple organs of the body, and the harm is no higher than the "three higher" at all!
At a young age, it was not controlled by high uric acid, and
caused renal failure!
In April 2022, Yu Zhuxi, a physician in the Critical Care Medicine of Nanjing Gulou Hospital in Jiangsu Province, introduced a case on Baijiahao. He did not control uric acid at a young age, causing renal failure!
Mr. Li (pseudonym), 36 years old this year, suddenly fainted at a drink party one day. A friend rushed him to the hospital and was diagnosed with acute renal failure , and the uric acid was as high as 860 µmol/L (micromoles per liter)!
was quickly sent to the hospital. After some rescue, although Mr. Li was out of danger, he still needed to be hospitalized for a period of time to treat renal failure. His friends and family don’t understand. He is so young and has always been healthy, how could he suffer from kidney failure?
It turned out that three years ago, Mr. Li went to the hospital for treatment due to toe joint pain. After examination, he found that uric acid was high. The doctor diagnosed it with gout. He suggested that he start with diet, avoid eating foods with high purine content, and drink more water, and cooperate with appropriate exercise to lower the uric acid.
At the beginning, Mr. Li did as he did. Slowly, his joints stopped hurting and his body felt no other discomfort, so he relaxed his vigilance. This has led to the serious consequences of renal failure today . ①

High uric acid will "harm" multiple organs of the body!
1. Blood vessels - vascular sclerosis, endothelial injury
"The biggest problem for patients with hyperuricemia is that there is a problem with uric acid metabolism. The concentration of uric acid that cannot be metabolized in the blood will continue to increase, and it will slowly deposit on the blood vessel wall, causing endothelial damage to the blood vessel wall and lay hidden dangers for sclerosis or even thrombosis." Peking University First Hospital Chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Internal Medicine Huo Yong introduced in an interview with the Health Times in April 2020.
2. Heart - Coronary heart disease and other heart diseases
Professor Huo Yong introduced that among the patients we treated, it is obvious that patients with gout will have a higher proportion of vascular calcification, coronary artery lesions (coronary heart disease), and adverse cardiac events. At the same time, the threat to the heart is further aggravated with the increase of uric acid.
3. Kidney - Hyperuricemia Nephropathy
Director of the People's Liberation Army Nephrology Research Institute and Shanghai Changzheng Hospital Chief physician of the Department of Nephrology in the Health Times in April 2020, introducing that the kidneys are famous "dumb organs" and have no typical symptoms in the early stage. Hyperuricemia is even more hidden. When two diseases that are good at "hidden" act on the body at the same time, it will lead to hyperuricemia and nephropathy. It is recommended to have a physical examination once a year, a urine test, and a kidney function test, which can help early detection of kidney diseases and hyperuricemia .
4. Brain - stroke
The "Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of High-Risk Patients with Hyperuricemia and High-Risk of Cardiovascular and High-Risk of Hyperuricemia: Updated Version in 2021 pointed out that hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for stroke, metabolic diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, and is an independent predictor of premature death .
May 2021 An article "Research Progress in Hyperuricemia-related Cerebrovascular Diseases" published by the Chinese Stroke Journal pointed out that hyperuricemia is closely related to cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and cerebral small vascular disease. Most studies have shown that elevated uric acid increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease .
The most complete food purine content table,
compared with the control of eating it without worrying about high uric acid!
So which foods have high purine content and must avoid mouth? Which foods are low in purine content and can you eat more? After checking the data on the purine content in nearly 300 foods included in the 6th edition of the Standard Edition of " Chinese Food Ingredients List " Standard Edition/Volume 2 found that there is roughly one rule for the purine content in food:
out of viscera, seafood meat, bean staple food, cereals and vegetables, fruits
is divided into three levels according to the different purine content of food, and the three levels of food are distinguished by different background colors⑥. These high purine foods are recommended to eat less!
low purine food: Foods per 100 grams of food contain less than 25 mg of purine;
Medium purine food: Foods per 100 grams of food contain purine 25-150 mg of purine;
High purine food: Foods per 100 grams of food contain purine 150-1000 mg of food.

2. Beans and bean products
3. Vegetables
