Just as creatinine, uric acid is the metabolin of our body and is excreted by
our kidneys as well. It is known to all that high creatinine usually results
from the kidney disease, then can high level of uric acid cause Chronic Kidney
Disease?
As the ultimate metabolin of purine which is one of the important substances
of our life activities, uric acid is usually kept in equilibrium state. However,
because of some reasons, uric acid may pile up in our body and when the volume
of it increases to a certain degree, renal function will be affected and leading
to the occurrence of Chronic Kidney Disease.
Chronic Kidney Disease caused by high level of uric acid can be manifested as
back pain, frequent urination, hematuria(Hematuria and Kidney Disease) and high blood pressure(High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease). One more thing
which is worth mentioning is people with Chronic Kidney Disease caused by high
level of uric acid usually have no symptoms at the early stage and sometimes,
their disease can even not be found until it runs to end stage.
Renal damage caused by high level of uric acid is quite common. With the
observation of microscope, all the people with gout arise from high level of
uric acid have chronic renal damage and this is mainly resulted from the
accumulation of urate crystal in renal tubules or kidney tissues. Besides this,
the morbidity of kidney stone is several times higher among people with high
level of uric acid than among these who have normal value of uric acid.
Furthermore, for people with kidney stone, they should do an examination about
their uric acid, so as to avoid other diseases caused by high level of uric
acid.
Form the above explanation, we can get that high level of uric acid can cause
Chronic Kidney Disease and because of the great stealthiness of renal damage,
Chronic Kidney Disease caused by it sometimes is more dangerous than that caused
by other diseases. For more information, please email to me or consult our
