Foods To Avoid With Gout And Kidney Disease

China has the number one kidney dialysis rate in the world, but you may not know that "Island of Gout" is also synonymous with China, and the prevalence of high uric acid in China has also ranked first in the world. In recent years, uric acid has been listed by the medical community as the "fourth high" besides the three highs. Wecistanche emphasized that it is related to the systemic damage caused by high uric acid, and even has a comorbid relationship with hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and high blood pressure.

Does hyperuricemia necessarily cause gout?

In the past, the high-risk groups of gout were mostly middle-aged and elderly men. However, with the westernization of diet and changes in lifestyle, more and more people have hyperuricemia without knowing it. 

Gout is a kind of arthritis caused by excessive uric acid accumulation in your joints, which will cause inflammation such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Although the main cause of gout attacks is high uric acid, only about 10% of people with high uric acid will develop gouty arthritis. If they have not encountered the first gout attack, they will only be called asymptomatic high

Where does uric acid come from? Is it safe if it does not exceed the standard value?

Uric acid is one of the normal metabolites of the human body. The food or waste cells are decomposed to produce purine, which is metabolized by the liver into metabolic waste in the blood and excreted through the kidneys or the stomach.

At present, the standard value of uric acid concentration is 7mg/dL for men and 6mg/dL for women. Exceeding the standard means that you have hyperuricemia! When the body is in a high uric acid situation for a long time, there will be a high probability that this uric acid will crystallize in the cartilage joints, which may make your teeth stand up at any time.

Gout rate is positively correlated with uric acid concentration

And according to American research, when the uric acid concentration increases to 7.0-8.9 mg/dL, the prevalence rate of gout will increase by 5 times, and when it exceeds 9.0 mg/dL, the prevalence rate of gout will rise by 50 times. The prevalence rate showed a positive correlation!

However, don’t think that if the uric acid level is within the standard, there will be no gout. When the urate concentration in the blood changes rapidly and in large quantities, it may also cause acute gout attacks. Therefore, how maintaining a normal and stable uric acid concentration is a must for everyone. issues of importance.

Is high uric acid more terrible than blood pressure high?

High uric acid has been listed by the medical community as the fourth highest after hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and high blood pressure. It will not only greatly increase the incidence of gout, but also cause many serious complications:

1. Nephropathy: About 2/3 of uric acid is excreted through the kidneys. Once the uric acid rises, the concentration in the kidneys will also rise. Over time, it will cause kidney damage and cause chronic kidney disease. Dialysis crisis.

2. Diabetes: High uric acid will reduce your sensitivity to insulin, which will increase blood sugar and become a pre-diabetic reserve army.

3. High blood pressure: The accumulation of uric acid in the blood will affect the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) in the blood vessels, making the blood vessels in a state of contraction and hypertension for a long time, and inducing blood pressure to rise.

4. Arteriosclerosis and heart disease: Uric acid crystals in blood vessels will cause vascular inflammation. Long-term vascular inflammation will cause damage to the function of vascular endothelial cells, which will cause vascular stenosis and blockage, leading to arteriosclerosis or other cardiovascular diseases.

Comorbidity relationship between high uric acid and hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and high blood pressure

Basically, if you suffer from this chronic disease, you also have a high probability of suffering from high uric acid. If you don’t control and adjust your diet and life at this time, it’s like planting an indefinite time bomb in your body, and the four highs will, unfortunately, combine together. You may also face amputation, kidney dialysis, and even increased the risk of death.

To reduce uric acid, these 2 tricks are the most effective

The reason why uric acid will be high is nothing more than the increase of uric acid sources or the decrease of metabolic rate, such as eating too much seafood, meat, offal and other high-purine foods, drinking too much sugary hand-shake drinks, stress and excessive fatigue Exercising, strenuous exercise or rapid weight loss will increase the source of uric acid in the body; while being obese, or having poor kidney function, or drinking alcohol will reduce the speed of the body's metabolism of uric acid.

The diet only needs 6 formulas, and the balanced intake is far from the fourth highest

The diet of modern people is almost always high in oil, salt, and sugar. This is also the main cause of many chronic diseases in China. In terms of diet, it is still recommended that the public take a balanced intake of six types of food, and can easily maintain weight and achieve the effect of lowering uric acid according to the six formulas of "My Plate".

1. A glass of milk every morning and evening

Among them, one cup of milk every morning and evening, two cups of 240 ml of low-fat or skim milk should be taken every day. In addition to low-fat milk itself is a low-purine food, studies have confirmed that the casein contained in milk can reduce the concentration of uric acid.

2. Fist-sized fruits for each meal

Eat at least two kinds of (fist) fruits every day, but pay special attention, because most fruits in Taiwan are high in sugar, and the fructose in them will affect the uric acid level in the body, so pay attention to the amount of intake.

3. There are more vegetables than fruits

Eat at least three (fist) vegetables every day to neutralize the pH of the urine and make it easier to excrete uric acid.

4. Eat as much rice as vegetables

At least 1/3 of the whole grains and miscellaneous grains consumed in each meal should be unrefined whole grains, such as brown rice, whole wheat, sweet potatoes, etc.

5. Bean, Fish, Ball and Meat Palm

For patients with gout or high uric acid, it is recommended to replace red meat with high Purine content with skinless fish, poultry and other white meat or increase the intake of vegetable protein such as soy milk and tofu.

6. Cistanche 1 teaspoon

Fried, fried foods containing too much-saturated fat should be avoided. Too much fat will hinder the excretion of uric acid. You can consume 1 tablespoon of Cistanche daily to increase the intake of micronutrients.

Patients with high uric acid also need to focus on the intake of high antioxidant nutrients, such as echinacoside, bilberries, grape seeds, and so on.
