Hyperuricemic nephropathy (gout kidney disease) is nephropathy caused by
hyperuricemia. Urea acid is the final production of purine metabolism. Due to
the disorder of purine metabolism, excessive urea acid in blood will come into
being. On the other hand, kidney secretes less urea acid, which also increases
the level of urea acid in blood.
Generally, when the urea acid is more than 360umol/L in blood, we call it
hyperuricemia. In clinic, when the urea acid is more than 390umol/L in blood, we
call it hyperuricemia. When the urea acid is more than 420 umol/L in blood,
people will be definitely diagnosed with hyperuricemic nephropathy (gout kidney
disease).
If diagnosed early, people can suffer from less pains. Regular physical
examination is necessary. People are suggested to have physical examinations
twice a year on blood and urine, etc. Hyperuricemic nephropathy (gout kidney
disease) is mostly seen in males and those who are fat and like drinking alcohol
and eating meat.
