Early symptoms of high uric acid in men

High uric acid is usually hidden in the early stage, but there are still some changes, so we must pay attention to it. Its symptoms are manifested in three aspects. One is high uric acid in the acute stage, which may cause joint swelling, severe pain, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever and increased white blood cells, and damage to several joints. The other is that uric acid is high in the asymptomatic stage, which can only be discovered through examination at this time, and can be alleviated through dietary control and medicine. So what are the early symptoms of high uric acid in men?

What are the symptoms of high uric acid in men?

High uric acid occurs in stages, and has different manifestations at different stages.

1. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia

Blood tests can reveal an increase in blood uric acid concentration, but there are no clinical manifestations such as arthritis, high uric acid, or kidney stones. At this stage, it is generally not easy to detect unless there is an inspection. High uric acid levels without symptoms can last for 10 to 20 years, and some may not experience high uric acid levels for life. Generally speaking, the higher the blood uric acid level, the greater the risk factors for hyperuricemia.

2. Subacute hyperuricemic arthritis

The disease can occur in any four seasons, with the highest incidence in spring and autumn. Partial damage to the joints, overeating, overwork, moisture, some drugs, infection and surgical treatment can all cause subacute onset. These factors can cause the already supersaturated uric acid to produce fibrous crystals and accumulate in the joint synovial fluid. The crystals are regarded as aliens by the body's white blood cells and are swallowed. After being swallowed, they release inflammatory factors, causing acute disease.

Symptoms caused by high uric acid indicate a serious condition and should be detected and prevented as early as possible. Find the causes of the disease, such as diet, drug factors such as blood pressure lowering, anti-tumor drugs, pathological factors such as blood diseases, diabetes, kidney disease, etc. After finding the causes, we must carry out targeted solutions, avoid high purine and high-calorie food diets, and take drugs that cause high uric acid, proactively treat the original disease, strengthen exercise, and maintain a healthy body.
