There are 4 symptoms while sleeping. Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that uric acid has exceeded the standard. Hopefully, you have not experienced any of them!

High uric acid is the "culprit" that causes gout. Gout, as the name suggests, is mainly characterized by pain, and gout is known as the "number one pain" of diseases, so the typical symptom of gout is pain. Although high uric acid does not necessarily lead to gout, gout is definitely associated with uric acid. Therefore, controlling uric acid concentration is the most direct way to prevent and stay away from gout. According to SEP statistics, China currently has over 200 million patients with hyperuricemia, a staggering number. According to clinical research data, high uric acid only develops into gout in 10% of cases. So, does this mean we can rest assured?

Actually, it's not like that! Prevention is always the enemy of disease. If you don't prevent it early, some diseases will come knocking on your door sooner or later. For people with high uric acid levels, there are usually four abnormal symptoms during sleep. If we can detect them early, we can better take care of our physical health. You may want to learn about them.

1. Going to the bathroom at night is becoming more and more frequent.

Getting up and going to the bathroom during sleep is also a normal physiological phenomenon. If you drink a lot of water before going to bed, it is inevitable that you will be awakened by urine. However, if you do not drink much water and still frequently go to the bathroom, you should be vigilant.

Some people find that they don't urinate much, but they always feel like they are holding back urine, which may be related to excessive uric acid in the body. When uric acid levels exceed the standard severely, it can cause significant damage to kidney function and may also lead to abnormal urination. It is best to go to the hospital for uric acid testing in a timely manner to understand one's physical health status.

2. Thirst and fatigue during sleep at night

As sleep deepens, the body's metabolism begins to slow down, so the basal metabolic rate slows down. At this time, the body's demand for water will actually be greatly reduced. Because of this, the frequency of urination at night will be much lower than during the day. However, some people not only experience frequent urination at night, but also easily feel thirsty and weak. So, why is this? In fact, the reason why there is thirst and fatigue before bedtime, as well as frequent drinking of water at night, is mostly related to the increase of uric acid in the body, accompanied by symptoms such as high blood sugar. After the blood sugar level rises, it is easy to drink more, eat more, and urinate more, and the increase of uric acid will further damage the kidneys. Therefore, the "two pronged" approach makes it easy for patients to show symptoms of thirst and fatigue at night.

3. Body Edema

Uric acid levels in the body are at their highest at night, during which the glomeruli are prone to blockage and even necrosis. Water in the body cannot be expelled in a timely manner, and accumulation in the body can lead to edema. If there is swelling in the legs or eyelids after waking up in the morning, it is necessary to be vigilant and it is best to go to the hospital for uric acid monitoring in a timely manner. This is a typical signal of hyperuricemia. When uric acid levels in the body are severely elevated, it can increase the burden on the kidneys and even increase the risk of kidney failure. It is best to monitor uric acid levels in a timely manner to understand the health status of the body.

4. Abnormal urination needs special attention

When urinating at night, if you observe that the color of urine is like strong tea and there are a lot of foam, which can not dissipate for a long time, it is related to the excessive uric acid. Once abnormal urination occurs, it indicates that your uric acid level has seriously exceeded the standard, which may increase the risk of kidney failure. We hope you can take it seriously and not turn a blind eye to it anymore.

If you experience the above four symptoms while sleeping at night, we regret to inform you that your uric acid levels have severely exceeded the standard. We hope you do not experience any of them. If the above situation occurs, everyone must take active measures to prevent and treat it. First, understand the cause of the disease in the body, and then plan treatment accordingly, so as to better care for the health of the kidneys and other parts of the body.
