Health Aspects: Increasing Uric Acid and Its Impact on the Body

Redness, swelling, and warmth around the affected joint

Difficulty moving the joint due to pain and swelling

How it Happens: When uric acid builds up in the bloodstream, it forms urate crystals that settle in the joints. The body’s immune system then reacts to the crystals, leading to inflammation and pain.

2. Kidney Stones
Excess uric acid can also contribute to the formation of kidney stones. These stones are hard deposits that form in the kidneys when there is too much uric acid in the urine. The symptoms of kidney stones include:

Severe pain in the back or side, often radiating to the lower abdomen or groin

Blood in the urine (hematuria)

Frequent urination or painful urination

Nausea and vomiting

How it Happens: High levels of uric acid can lead to the crystallization of urate in the kidneys, which gradually form stones. These stones can obstruct the urinary tract and cause intense pain when passing.

3. Increased Risk of Heart Disease
Research has shown that high uric acid levels may increase the risk of heart disease. Elevated uric acid levels are associated with:

High blood pressure (hypertension)

High cholesterol

Inflammation in the body
