High uric acid is very common in our life, and hyperuricemia can lead to a series of complications, among which the common complications mainly include gout and kidney stones. With the occurrence of complications, the later can lead to the occurrence of gout stones, renal failure, and hyperuricemia is also closely related to the occurrence and discovery of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, stroke and other diseases.

The reason why high uric acid can induce kidney failure is that, with the rise of blood uric acid level, when blood uric acid exceeds the saturation level of crystal precipitation and deposition in the kidneys and other tissues, it will lead to the occurrence of gout stone, which can lead to renal insufficiency, and even the occurrence of kidney failure in the later stage.

For the treatment of hyperuricemia, we should pay attention to strictly limit the intake of high-purine food, do not eat animal offal, shell seafood and broth; to eat more fresh vegetables and drink more water; to appropriate exercise, weight control and warmth, to avoid strenuous exercise and sudden exposure to cold; to quit smoking and limit the use of alcohol, preferably do not drink alcohol, in particular, should be avoided to drink beer and wine; also to regular work and rest and maintain a good state of mind, to avoid staying up all night, tired; Also pay attention to monitor the blood uric acid level changes and regular, if necessary, can use uric acid-lowering drugs, in order to stabilize and control the condition.

In the treatment of hyperuricemia, drinking more water can play a dilute and promote the efficacy of uric acid discharge, it is recommended to drink white water is appropriate, daily appropriate greater than 2000 ml, can also be appropriate to drink soda, light tea and coffee, but should be avoided to drink fruit juice, cola and other fructose-rich beverages. So, can you drink water with coffee root to reduce uric acid? The answer is no, we must not be biased, so as not to miss the condition.

Renal failure is a more serious kidney disease caused by the development of various chronic kidney diseases to the late stage, resulting in partial impairment of renal function or complete loss of renal function, which is difficult to treat, the best way is prevention and early control.

So what does uric acid have to do with kidney failure?

Uric acid and kidney failure have an indirect relationship, long-term elevated blood uric acid will increase the risk of kidney damage, thus causing kidney disease and problems, disease control is not ideal, the development of the late stage of kidney failure may occur.However, not all patients with hyperuricemia or gout are likely to develop kidney failure, nor do they necessarily get kidney disease whenever they have high uric acid, but the main reason is that the blood uric acid level is not well controlled over time.It is the early intervention and treatment that increases the risk of complications.

Tell us more about how uric acid affects kidney health.

The product of purine metabolism, uric acid, mainly exists in our blood, due to diet, obesity and other factors lead to the body of purine metabolism disorders, the blood uric acid level rises to reach a certain value (male 420/female 360) is often referred to as hyperuricemia.

When blood uric acid levels are chronically high and the uric acid concentration is near saturation, urate crystals are formed and it affects the kidneys:

01, urate crystals circulate with the blood, and uric acid is excreted through the kidneys, then the chances of urate crystals precipitating in the kidneys are very high, once the crystals precipitate will damage the renal cells and interstitium, affecting renal function and inducing renal diseases such as gouty nephropathy.

02, high uric acid is an independent risk factor for hypertensive disease, that is to say, for patients with hyperuricemia, the risk of complications of hypertension is high, and hypertension is an independent risk factor for kidney disease.

03, Some patients with hyperuricemia or gout need long-term medication to control uric acid, and some of these medications also have an impact on kidney health.

Question about whether coffee grass root tea can lower uric acid:

The so-called coffee grass root tea generally refers to the addition of appropriate amount of thatch root in the coffee to drink together, its most obvious effect is to clear heat and diuretic, it has a certain benefit on the excretion of uric acid, because the coffee grass root tea is alkaline.Alkaline foods or drinks do not change the pH of the body, but they do help to change the pH of the urine, and alkalizing the urine facilitates the dissolution of more uric acid in it.It is excreted with the urine, and this principle is similar to that of soda, so coffee grass root tea has a slight beneficial effect on the excretion of uric acid.

But just because there are benefits doesn't mean it lowers uric acid. There are many reasons for elevated uric acid.Whether it is the food intake of too much high purine food, or kidney excretion of uric acid in addition to the obstacles or endogenous generation of uric acid increase, simply rely on some coffee root to solve the problem of uric acid, it is difficult to achieve, or to standardize the diet and lifestyle habits, to improve the purine metabolism disorders, to control the problem of uric acid from the root of the problem of uric acid elevation, follow the instructions of the doctor if necessary, reasonable use of medication.

Thanks for reading, I hope this helps.

1. Why does high uric acid induce kidney failure?

The use of the word 'induced' in the title doesn't seem quite right to me! Patients with high uric acid can go through hyperuricemia, which then causes gouty nephropathy, which then finds its way to chronic renal insufficiency before finally reaching the stage of renal failure. That is to say it is not that high uric acid causes renal failure, and it also shows that high uric acid usually damages the kidneys in a chronic process, not an acute one. High uric acid leading to kidney failure is often mutually causal, meaning that high uric acid has poor kidney function, and poor kidney function will in turn increase high uric acid levels. This is because uric acid is excreted out of the body through the kidneys, if renal failure occurs, then the glomerular filtration rate will inevitably decline, and uric acid elimination will certainly be limited, so uric acid will increase!

2. Can drinking water with coffee grass root tea lower uric acid?

Coffee Grass Root is also known as Maokong Root, it is a Chinese medicine that is a diuretic. What do we mean by diuretic? Diuretic is to promote the elimination of electrolytes and water by affecting the process of urine production. And high uric acid is mainly the renal tubular reabsorption of uric acid obstacles, resulting in uric acid re-recovery increased, while the elimination of uric acid out of the body decreased. At this time if you make some coffee grass root tea, promote urine generation, accelerate urine exclusion, then uric acid will also be excluded, so coffee grass root tea can also reduce uric acid.

However, it must be made clear that just how effective is coffee grass root tea in lowering uric acid? We really do not know. If you want to reduce uric acid, I suggest that you go to the endocrinologist, so that the doctor will give you a professional, for the specific condition of the lower uric acid medication program! If you want to drink tea alone to reduce uric acid levels, this is not very reliable oh.

Hyperuricemia, just like hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia, is a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and also belongs to the metabolic diseases, which jeopardize our health. And hyperuricemia is also a very important cause to induce renal failure.

High uric acid, why does it induce kidney failure?

As far as some of the current relevant studies have shown, elevated uric acid induced renal failure can be understood in several ways, including affecting renal blood vessels, tissues and inflammation:

1. The formation of uric acid crystals leads to kidney damage;

2. Elevated uric acid leads to renal cortical vasoconstriction, impairs the regulation of pre-glomerular blood vessels, fibrosis of renal tubules, and causes ischemic changes in the kidneys, which in turn leads to kidney injury;

3. Elevated uric acid leads to kidney injury by inducing the production and release of inflammatory mediators such as CRP and impairing the vascular endothelial function of the kidney;

4. Elevated uric acid can induce renal tissue damage by activating the renin-angiotensin system, promoting inflammatory responses and proliferating vascular smooth muscle;

5. Hyperuricemia is also a risk factor for hypertension, leading to increased blood pressure, which can further damage the kidneys.

These mechanisms above may be difficult to understand for those who have not studied medical knowledge, but it does not matter. It is enough for us to know that hyperuricemia does induce kidney failure.So, when we find ourselves with elevated uric acid we need to pay attention, we can adopt a low purine diet, drink a lot of water, quit smoking and drinking, lose weight and other healthy lifestyle as well as standardized medication.

As for whether coffee grass root tea in water can lower uric acid, as a doctor I have not come across relevant cases as well as check the medical information. It is hard to say whether it is a folkloric one or not. However, I would like to say that when you find that your uric acid is elevated or when you encounter any other health problems, going to a regular hospital for treatment and listening to your doctor's advice is the most reliable approach.

　　High uric acid, why can induce kidney failure? Can drinking water with coffee grass root tea lower uric acid?

　　Uric acid is a product of purine metabolism, and a proper range of uric acid values can slow down aging and fight oxidation. However, once the uric acid exceeds the standard, it is easy to induce hyperuricemia. For ordinary people, the body's normal uric acid value of men in 14-416umo1/L, women in 89-357umo1/L, if the uric acid for a long time higher than this standard, can be diagnosed as hyperuricemia.

　　Why high uric acid can cause kidney failure

　　1. Large fish and meat lead to excessive purine content in the body, the body's urinary hydrochloric acid therefore increased, began to stimulate the glomeruli inflammation, and finally caused a full-blown nephritis.

　　2. Excessive uric acid will also enter the renal tubules, which can't be unblocked and lead to blockage, triggering hydronephrosis.

　　3. Taking a lot of drugs for a long time in order to treat kidney disease, which causes damage while treating and finally leads to kidney failure.

　　Can drinking water with coffee grass root tea lower uric acid?

　　Coffee grass root for the best diuretic, sweet and cold, people lung, stomach, small intestine, the internal organs have the effect of tonic, especially suitable for edema, hematuria patients. Materia Medica Jing Shuo" said: "labor injury and weakness, must be internal heat, thatched root Gan can tonify the spleen, Gan is cold and does not offend the stomach. Gan cold can remove internal heat, so the main labor injury deficiency." It is most effective for chronic nephritis patients with spleen and kidney yang deficiency and water-dampness flooding type.

Hyperuricemia, which can trigger acute obstructive nephropathy due to the deposition of large amounts of uric acid crystals in the renal tubules. Gouty nephropathy caused by peritubular and interstitial deposition leads to renal failure, which is often a serious life-threatening complication of gout.

Hyperuricemia, on the one hand, changes the blood flow dynamics and affects vascular pathology, resulting in abnormal renal blood circulation and decreased renal function; on the other hand, the precipitation of uric acid crystals into the kidneys leads to uric acid nephropathy, which not only results in functional damage to the kidneys, but also in organic damage and a further decline in renal function, leading to renal failure.

Coffee grass root tea does not lower uric acid.

Coffee grass, in fact, is chicory, and the commercially available varieties are usually bud-ball chicory, which is divided into two types: leaf and root. The production of buds and balls of chicory to be planted twice, the first is the root plant growth stage, the second is the soft cultivation stage. The soft cultivation of chicory varieties are the Dutch Kolade, Trelawe, the British Echelle Nisa, Japan's Worm, Shirakawa two varieties.

Sesquiterpenes contained in chicory root has antibacterial effect, in addition to light diarrhea, can promote urination, medical confirmation, people take 60g of baked chicory daily, a total of 6 months, on the blood, urinary indicators, liver function and so on, no obvious effect, so the coffee grass root tea is only diuretic, but does not have the effect of lowering uric acid. In addition, the medical report pointed out that chicory contains carcinogenic hydrocarbons, the content of which is higher than other coffee-based beverages, should not be taken for a long time.
