@drkabugo: Uric acid is a natural waste product. It forms when your body breaks down purines, which are chemicals found in certain foods and body cells. Most uric acid dissolves in blood, travels to the kidneys, and leaves the body through urine. High Uric Acid LevelsCalled hyperuricemia.Happens when your body makes too much uric acid or your kidneys do not filter enough out. Can form sharp, needle-like crystals in the joints or kidneys. Common Health Risks Gout: Painful, swollen, and red joints (often in the big toe). Kidney stones: Hard deposits that form in the kidneys. Foods and Habits That Raise LevelsEating lots of red meat, shellfish, and certain fish like mackerel. Drinking alcohol (especially beer) or sugary drinks with fructose. Being overweight or having high blood pressure. Ways to Lower LevelsDrink plenty of water to help flush the waste out. Eat fewer foods that are high in purines. Exercise and keep a healthy body weight.See a doctor 🩺 0️⃣7️⃣7️⃣1️⃣6️⃣7️⃣4️⃣2️⃣0️⃣5️⃣ on his what's app if you have joint pain #uricacid #kidneyfailureawareness #kidneyfailure
