Mr. Li, 46, was lying on a hospital bed. His lower limbs were swollen and his toes were severely deformed.

Mr. Li was diagnosed with gout. His uric acid value was as high as 880 μmol/L, and both kidneys suffered severe failure. After three months of dialysis treatment, Mr. Li passed away.

The doctor learned through his family members that the reason why Mr. Li suffered from such a serious disease was closely related to his liking for seafood.

Mr. Li is in the aquatic products business, and he also likes to eat seafood. When Mr. Li eats at home, he almost always eats seafood.

The doctor sighed: Although seafood is good, it cannot be eaten without restraint

The purine content of seafood is very high. Regular consumption will easily lead to an increase in uric acid content. High uric acid will cause The excretion burden on the kidneys increases, increasing the risk of kidney disease.

Doctors remind: If you don’t want uric acid to rise, in addition to seafood, you should also eat less of the following three foods

Food 1: Spare ribs soup

Spare ribs soup and the like Food has high nutritional value, but it cannot be drunk frequently. The purine content in pork rib soup is very high.

After purine enters the human body, it will be oxidized and become uric acid. If the uric acid content exceeds the normal level, our kidneys will be easily damaged.

In fact, in addition to pork rib soup, mutton soup, chicken soup and other soups also contain very high purine. This is because purine is highly water-soluble and can easily dissolve in the soup during the cooking process. , so the longer it is cooked, the higher the purine content it contains.

Food 2: Shiitake mushrooms

Shiitake mushrooms, a fungus food, also contain very high purines. Studies have found that every 100g of shiitake mushrooms contains about 400 mg of purine, so it is often Eating shiitake mushrooms may also increase the content of uric acid in the body, causing damage to the kidneys.

Food 3: Beans and soy products

The uric acid content in the body exceeds the standard, and soy foods are not recommended to be eaten regularly. Although soy foods are rich in high-quality protein, they are also It is a high purine food.

The more common soy products in daily life include soy milk, bean skin, dried tofu, tofu, tofu curd, etc. Regular consumption of these foods can easily increase the uric acid content in the body and increase the burden on the kidneys' metabolism.

What will be the symptoms of the body if uric acid exceeds the standard?

1. Gout

When uric acid is seriously exceeded, patients are prone to symptoms of gout. The main symptoms are redness, swelling, deformation and severe pain in the joints of the body.

It is reported that the pain caused by gout is extremely severe and unbearable. Patients will feel that their joints are on fire and like ants are biting them.

This is caused by an increase in uric acid, a large amount of urate precipitating and then depositing around the joints of the human body.

When such symptoms appear, sufficient attention should be paid.

2. Difficulty urinating

More than half of patients with high uric acid will have difficulty urinating.

After the urate in the human body is precipitated, it needs to be excreted through our urinary system. During the excretion process, the urate will precipitate into the urethra and kidneys, forming stone-like precipitation in the kidneys and urethra. things.

These sediments will cause very serious interference with urine excretion, so patients with excessive uric acid are prone to symptoms of difficulty urinating.

3. Foamy urine

High uric acid causes great damage to the kidneys, and foamy urine is a typical manifestation of the damage.

When a large amount of urate in uric acid is deposited in the renal pelvis and glomerulus, the "filtration" function of the kidneys is easily affected, causing toxins in the body to be unable to be excreted normally, endangering kidney health.

If the uric acid level in the body remains high for a long time, it is very easy to induce symptoms such as nephritis and renal insufficiency. If the condition continues to develop, it may even cause kidney failure, uremia, etc.

For good health, it is recommended to develop the following 2 habits

1. Drink more water

Water can dilute the concentration of uric acid and promote the excretion of uric acid. You can also add Soak chrysanthemums in water and drink them. Chrysanthemums are rich in inulin, alkaloids, amino acids and other nutrients. You can drink chrysanthemum tea regularly.

2. Exercise more

Exercise can not only enhance cardiopulmonary function, but also help reduce acidity.

Exercise will improve our metabolism and speed up the excretion of uric acid. Therefore, if we continue to exercise, the content of uric acid in our body will be reduced.

In addition, exercise can also promote fat consumption in the body. After the fat content in the body is reduced, the risk of fat interfering with xanthine oxidoreductase will also decrease, which stabilizes purine in the body. content and reduce the risk of excessive production of uric acid.

Tips: Drink less alcohol

Although the purine content in wine is not high, patients with high uric acid still cannot drink it.

After alcohol enters the body, it will disrupt the body's function of metabolizing purine. If purine metabolism is abnormal, the uric acid content in the body will continue to increase.

Moreover, drinking too much will consume a lot of water in the body, which will further increase the concentration of uric acid in the body and worsen the condition.
