Protein in the human body catabolizes and produces purine, which is oxidized to form uric acid, which accounts for two-thirds of uric acid production; The second is exogenous uric acid. protein and nucleic acid in food are digested and absorbed, and uric acid is formed by the action of enzymes. Uric acid from food accounts for one third of uric acid production. These purines can also be metabolized into uric acid, which accounts for about 20% of the total uric acid level. Since uric acid from food only accounts for 20%, all the hyperuricemia can't meet the standard by diet control alone, but must be treated with drugs.
There is also a kind of people with high uric acid who think that eating and drinking while taking uric acid-lowering drugs should not cause gout. In fact, this is wrong, and because we were not firm at the beginning, we finally developed into gout. Such as animal viscera and shellfish seafood; In addition, "purine" is easy to water, such as boiled thick broth and beer made by fermentation process, which also contains high "purine".
It is mainly the metabolite of human body. When we hear uric acid, everyone thinks it is in urine. In fact, urine is mainly urea, which contains only a small amount of uric acid, while uric acid is mainly the final metabolite of purine in human body, and uric acid is weakly acidic. It is directly related to the occurrence of gout, and at the same time, long-term high uric acid will affect renal function, and severe cases may develop renal failure, which is also the chief culprit in the occurrence and development of many diseases such as endocrine metabolism, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
