The harm of high uric acid to human body The kidney is an important organ for uric acid excretion. If the creatinine clearance rate of the kidney is reduced by 5%~25%, it will lead to Hyperuricemia (HUA). Under normal circumstances, the daily production and excretion of uric acid in human body basically maintain a dynamic balance, and all factors that affect the production and excretion of serum uric acid can lead to an increase in serum uric acid level. The highest solubility of uric acid in blood is 420μmol/L, when it exceeds this value, urate is easy to precipitate and deposit in tissues and cause inflammatory diseases, such as joint deposition, which is known as gouty arthritis.
It is generally believed that there is no need to treat asymptomatic hyperuricemia. But it is not to ignore it, because hyperuricemia is abnormal after all. Persistent hyperuricemia may cause uric acid crystals and urate crystals to deposit in renal pelvis, ureter, renal tubule and renal interstitial, resulting in renal damage and kidney calculi. Therefore, we should look for the causes of hyperuricemia, such as diuretics, antihypertensive drugs, chemotherapy drugs and other drug factors, as well as kidney disease, hematological diseases, diabetes, etc., and find out the reasons. At the same time, we should avoid obesity, high purine and high-calorie diet, alcoholism, fatigue, mental stress, trauma and so on. Lowering blood uric acid is beneficial and harmless.
Vegetarian dishes that people with high uric acid can eat more 1. wax gourd
Wax gourd, which can induce diuresis, clear away heat, eliminate phlegm and quench thirst, is effective in treating nephritis, edema and swelling, phlegm and asthma, summer heat, hemorrhoids and other diseases. The water content of wax gourd is the same as its volume, which is the highest among all vegetables, and its water content is as high as 96%. Eating wax gourd has the effects of promoting uric acid excretion, lowering blood pressure and reducing swelling.
In addition, because wax gourd contains almost no fat, it contains fenugreek and propanol diacid, the former has a unique effect on human metabolism, and the latter can promote the sugar in the body to be converted into heat instead of fat, thus preventing the accumulation of fat in the body. In addition, the low sodium content of wax gourd is beneficial to lowering blood pressure.
2. Cucumber
Cucumber, which Chinese medicine thinks is sweet, sweet, cool, bitter and nontoxic, enters the spleen, stomach and large intestine; Because the isoquercitrin contained in cucumber skin has a good diuretic effect. Gout patients eat cucumber, which can promote diuresis and detumescence, and help to promote the discharge of harmful substances such as uric acid in the blood.
Secondly, the dietary fiber contained in cucumber can reduce the content of cholesterol and triglyceride in blood, and can also clear the intestines and detoxify. Cucumber contains propanedioic acid, which can effectively inhibit the conversion of sugar into fat, have a certain effect on lowering cholesterol and effectively prevent the complications of gout.
3. Broccoli
Among the minerals in the human body, the content of potassium is second only to calcium and phosphorus, ranking third. For gout patients, potassium can reduce uric acid precipitation and help uric acid excretion.
Broccoli is also a large potassium-containing household. You can eat more broccoli at ordinary times, which will help uric acid excrete. At the same time, broccoli can also promote intestinal peristalsis and enhance the metabolic capacity of the human body from many angles. Therefore, it is helpful to eat broccoli regularly in reducing uric acid level.
4.celery
Celery is suitable for gout patients, whether in remission or acute attack.
Because the composition of celery basically does not contain purine, gout patients will not lead to an increase in blood uric acid after eating it, which will affect their condition. Secondly, celery contains substances that can neutralize uric acid, which can reduce uric acid production and prevent gout attacks. Finally, apigenin in celery has the characteristics of lowering blood pressure and preventing thrombosis, and is suitable for patients with gout complicated with hypertension.
Vegetarian food 1 and mushroom food that people with high uric acid can't eat: mushroom food is not meat, but it also contains high purine. If you eat too much mushroom food with high uric acid, the purine contained in it will become uric acid after metabolism in the liver, thus increasing the content of uric acid in the body. If it cannot be excreted through the kidney in time, it may cause gout.
2. Wild vegetables: Wild vegetables are healthy and natural foods, so many middle-aged and elderly people who pay attention to health will often eat some wild vegetables, but they also contain a certain amount of purine. Therefore, if people with high uric acid eat wild vegetables, it may lead to the disorder of purine metabolism in the body, thus promoting the formation of uric acid, leading to higher and higher uric acid value, which is very unfavorable to health and can lead to some complications, such as some kidney functions or gout attacks.
3, oxalic acid vegetables: high uric acid can affect the health of kidneys and joints. When uric acid in the body cannot be excreted in time, it can form crystals at the joints, which will lead to inflammation and pain in the joints. Therefore, for some vegetables with high oxalic acid, patients with high uric acid should also avoid eating, such as spinach, bamboo shoots, cabbage, etc., all of which belong to oxalic acid vegetables. After eating, the oxalic acid contained in them can compete with uric acid for the opportunity to be excreted, thus affecting the metabolism of uric acid. If uric acid cannot be eliminated from the body in time, it will form crystals and remain in the kidneys and joints, which will eventually lead to arthritis or kidney calculi. Therefore, patients with high uric acid should pay attention to avoid eating such vegetables with high oxalic acid.
