Manage uric acid the homeopathic way.

Most of the patients having a high uric acid level reach hospitals with joint pain. Many are aware of high uric acid levels when doing a blood test while having severe joint pain. Uric acid not only causes joint pain but also kidney stones and hypertension. The reason for high uric acid levels is impaired metabolism. Uric acid is a by-product that results from the metabolism of purine-containing food. Due to the unhealthy diet and lifestyle patients having high uric acid levels are increasing day by day. Homeopathy treatment for uric acid can cure metabolic errors causing high serum uric acid levels. Moreover, homeopathy medicines for uric acid are free of any complications and side effects. 

What is uric acid? And how is it formed?

Uric acid is a waste product that results from the breakdown of purines, which are chemical compounds found naturally in our bodies and certain foods.

Purines are present in many of the body’s cells and RNA and DNA, the molecules carrying genetic information. When purines are broken down, they produce uric acid.

Normally, uric acid dissolves in the blood, passes through the kidneys, and is excreted from the body in urine. However, if there is too much uric acid produced or if the kidneys cannot effectively remove it from the body, it can build up and crystallize in the joints or form kidney stones.

Most of the uric acid in our bodies comes from the natural breakdown of purines in cell nuclei. But levels can also increase from eating a diet high in purine-rich foods such as:

▶️Red meat

▶️Organ meats

▶️Seafood

▶️Alcoholic beverages

So in moderation, uric acid is a normal byproduct. Excessive amounts accumulating in the body lead to medical issues like gout, and kidney stones, and potentially contribute to conditions like hypertension and cardiovascular disease over time.

Maintaining healthy uric acid levels depends on limiting dietary purines and ensuring the kidneys can effectively eliminate excess uric acid.

Causes for high serum uric acid level?

👉Diet high in purines: Eating a diet rich in purine-containing foods like red meat, organ meats, seafood, and alcohol leads to increased production of uric acid.

👉Obesity: Being overweight or obese increases uric acid levels, likely due to increased purine turnover and decreased uric acid excretion.

👉Genetics: Some people inherit a genetic predisposition that causes them to either overproduce uric acid or have difficulties excreting it properly through the kidneys.

👉Medical conditions: Certain diseases and disorders like psoriasis, hypothyroidism, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and renal disease can disrupt uric acid production or excretion.

👉Medications: Diuretics, immunosuppressants, niacin, aspirin and some chemotherapies can raise uric acid levels.

👉High purine cell turnover: Conditions with rapid cell turnover like cancer, psoriasis or starvation increase purine breakdown and uric acid production.

👉Dehydration: Not drinking enough fluids decreases the body’s ability to flush out uric acid effectively.

👉Gender: Men tend to have higher baseline uric acid levels than women.

👉The kidneys normally filter out uric acid from the bloodstream. But factors like diet, obesity, genetics or kidney dysfunction can overload or impair this process, allowing uric acid to accumulate.

Symptoms of high serum uric acid level

• Acute gout attacks – Sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness, swelling and tenderness in joints, often affecting the big toe. Gout flares are triggered by uric acid crystal buildup in the joints.

• Joint stiffness and reduced mobility – Chronic gout can lead to joint deformity and lack of flexibility from uric acid crystal deposits.

• Tophi – Chalk-like lumps under the skin around joints formed from uric acid crystal buildup over time. Common on fingers, hands, feet, elbows and ears.

• Kidney stones – High uric acid levels increase the risk of developing painful kidney stones when uric acid crystallizes in the urinary tract.  

• Fatigue and malaise – General feelings of tiredness, sluggishness or lack of energy from uric acid’s inflammatory effects.

• Cognitive issues – Some research links high uric acid to poorer cognitive performance and risk of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease over time.

• Hypertension – Excessive uric acid may contribute to the development of high blood pressure in some individuals.

The frequency, duration and severity of symptoms can vary greatly between those with moderately elevated uric acid versus long standing, poorly controlled hyperuricemia. Many people are being cured of the sufferings of uric acid with Homeopathy treatment. The number of people who choose Homoeopathy treatment for uric acid is increasing day by day.
