What are the risks of hyperuricemia?

Hyperuricemia will not cause serious harm after timely treatment. If it is not treated in time, it may cause gouty arthritis, kidney stones, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and other hazards.

1. Gouty arthritis: high uric acid content in the blood will cause urate crystallization, deposition in the joints to form tophones causing gouty arthritis.

2. Kidney stones: blood needs to be filtered by the kidneys, which will cause a large amount of uric acid to deposit in the kidney medulla to form kidney stones.

3. Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease: If the uric acid content in the blood is too high, it may stimulate the proliferation of the intima of the vascular wall to produce inflammatory reactions, easily leading to arteriosclerosis and reduced vascular elasticity, causing coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.
