Early symptoms of high uric acid in women

What are the symptoms of high uric acid in women? Uric acid is a substance in the human urine. The content of uric acid in blood is not very high. Uric acid in blood is also the final substance of purine metabolism. Uric acid in blood is excreted in urine after some redox reactions. High uric acid levels are due to the disorder of purine in some reaction processes, which eventually leads to an increase in the uric acid content in the blood. This can easily lead to gout, which is more common in men but can also occur in women. Therefore, many patients do not pay attention to the symptoms of high uric acid levels and do not seek treatment until the symptoms become serious. Let's follow us to understand the symptoms of high uric acid levels in women. I hope it will be of some help to everyone.

1. Asymptomatic period

The early symptoms of high uric acid in women are not easy to be obvious, and the entire history of the disease will last for a long time, even for more than ten years. The early symptoms will be found in blood tests with increased uric acid levels, but there are no obvious symptoms such as joints and uric acid stones. If the blood uric acid level is found to be higher than the normal level, it is best to conduct corresponding examinations for safety reasons, because this disease is not easy to detect. There are also some patients who have no symptoms in their entire medical history, but there is still a risk of developing gout.

2. Subacute hyperuricemia arthritis

In spring and autumn, patients also have some acute symptoms, especially when the body is overly tired, catches a cold, suffers from joint trauma, takes certain medicines, etc., it is more likely to cause acute hyperuricemia arthritis. These causes will increase the uric acid content in the patient's blood and accumulate in the kneecap, eventually causing symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the joints. For these symptoms, relevant medication treatment is needed, otherwise it will affect the patient's quality of life.

3. Acute gouty arthritis

If the acute stage of high uric acid is not treated in time, gout is very likely to occur. If it is treated at this stage, the difficulty and cost of treatment will increase to varying degrees, so timely treatment is necessary. In acute gouty arthritis, the patient's kneecap will be affected by the symptoms, which can easily cause symptoms such as dislocation of the finger joints, wrist joints, and shoulder joints, and may even cause the entire joint to be affected or leave joint deformities.

In general, the above are the three common symptoms of high uric acid in women. High uric acid can easily cause gout, so when everyone finds high uric acid levels in the blood during a blood test, it is best to conduct corresponding examinations. In addition, everyone should take relevant measures in daily life, such as reasonable diet to control weight, because obesity is also the cause of high uric acid, and also drink enough water, eat salt appropriately and avoid spicy food, etc. If the preventive measures are done well, the occurrence of high uric acid symptoms can be reduced.
