What causes high uric acid? Uric acid is a metabolite in the body, mainly the product of purine metabolism. After eating too much purine-containing food, uric acid will inevitably increase, which is the main source of uric acid. The reasons for high uric acid are as follows:
1, a very small number of people may unfortunately suffer from tumors, and chemotherapy may kill a large number of cells, leading to an increase in uric acid;
2, the ability of kidney to excrete uric acid decreases, which can also increase uric acid, especially in patients with renal insufficiency;
3. From the point of view of diet, all plants and animals containing cells have purines, so high purine foods, such as seafood and viscera, especially when eating hot pot, have a lot of purines in the bottom material of hot pot. It is recommended that patients eat a light diet and not eat too much purines, which is good for preventing uric acid is too high;
4, drink plenty of water, otherwise less urine output will also lead to increased uric acid. Patients undergoing chemotherapy must be fully hydrated.
