Customer question:
What are the symptoms if I have high uric acid in my body? Question from an anonymous customer
Pharmacist's answer:
High uric acid or hyperuricemia symptoms depend on the level and duration of excessive uric acid levels in the blood.
High uric acid in the joints is a common health problem caused by high blood uric acid levels. This causes gout, which manifests as sudden, severe pain in the joint, most often in the big toe, ankle, or knee. The joint becomes red, swollen, and very sensitive. Attacks last for several days or weeks and may even recur.
Hyperuricemia can also cause other health problems and lead to the formation of kidney stones, which causes pain in the lower back or abdomen, frequent urination, blood in the urine, nausea, or vomiting. In the chronic form of hyperuricemia, uric acid is deposited in the tissues, causing tophi - hard subcutaneous lumps in the joints, ears, or fingers.
Risk factors and causes of increased uric acid levels in the blood are a diet rich in purines (red meat, seafood), excess body weight, dehydration, and certain diseases (e.g, kidney failure). It is recommended that uric acid levels be checked and lifestyle or treatment adjusted as needed.
