REMEDIES FOR HIGH
LEVEL OF URIC ACID ACID
IN BLOOD
- August 01, 2017
A high uric acid level, or hyperuricemia, is an
excess of uric acid in your blood. Uric acid is
produced during the breakdown of purines,
which are found in certain foods and are also
formed by your body.
Once produced, uric acid is carried in your
blood and passes through your kidneys, where
most of it is filtered out into the urine.
About one in five people has a high uric acid
level. It may be related to attacks of gout or
the development of kidney stones. But most
people with high uric acid levels don't have
any symptoms or related problems.
Causes-Most of the time, a high uric acid level
occurs when your kidneys don't eliminate uric
acid efficiently. Things that may cause this slow-
down in the removal of uric acid include rich
foods, being overweight, having diabetes, taking
certain diuretics (sometimes called water pills)
and drinking too much alcohol. Other less
common causes are a diet high in purine-
containing items or your body producing too
much uric acid.
Factors that may cause a high uric acid level
in your blood include:
Diuretic medications (water pills)
Drinking too much alcohol
Genetics (inherited tendencies)
Hypothyroidism
Immune-suppressing drugs
