hotdog good for uric acid?

Question

Could you tell me what are good things to eat to bring down uric acid?

Answer 1

No!: Contains purines which increase uric acid.

Answer 2

Metabolis by-product: Uric acid is formed in the process of metabolism of proteins by the body. It can also form with high cellular turnover in persons undergoing chemotherapy or treatment for cancer. Uric acid can get to high levels and precipitate out in the body in joints, soft tissues and in the kidneys to give "gout". Medications, diet, hydration are the treatments.

Answer 3

Chemical Purine Met: Uric acid is a breakdown product of chemical reaction in the body related to substances called purines. The purines undergo chemical breakdown as part of their usual metabolism and uric acid is one of the these breakdown products. It circulates in the blood and is excreted in the urine. In gout its blood level is increased and it can develop urate crystals in the tissue and joints in gout.

Answer 4

Uric acid: Uric acid comes from purines made naturally by your body as well as from purines in your diet. Avoid foods high in purines like red meats, organ meats, canned tuna, anchovies, mackerel, sardines, herring, mussels, scallops, shrimp and lobster. Avoid alcohol. Avoid sugar. Eat more plant-based proteins and drink lots of fluids. Choose low-fat or nonfat dairy products. The goa is <6.0 for hx of gout.

Answer 5

Look at trend also: If a lab test is abnormal, it is important to get older records to see how quickly it is changing and how abnormal is has been. That information can be obtained by a primary care doctor who can then refer a patient to providers with special expertise if needed.

Answer 6

Find out why: Uric acid can be high with conditions ranging from trying to lose weight to cancer or kidney disease. High uric acid can cause gout attacks or kidney stones. There are medications like Allopurinol which lower uric acid levels. Check with your doctor.

Answer 7

Uric acid: Depends on how high, if you have kidney stones or gout. If so, then you need to take medication. If you have a diet high in organ meats such as liver, lung, heart or brain, it is recommended to change, however the typical american diet does not contain enough purines, the precursor to uric acid, to make dietary changes worth doing. If the uric acid is over 12, treatment is indicated.

Answer 8

Nothing: Any food that does not contain protein will not contribute to uric acid. Foods high in protein, iron, glucose, and processed sugar are also known to raise uric acid. Nn foods are known to decrease it. Certain drugs like Allopurinol are used to treat gout.

Answer 9

Red meat, etc.: The main foods to avoid or consume less of include red meat and seafood, also less dairy foods and milk, and foods with high fructose content. Increased vitamin c intake (foods with high vit c content) also helps, as does avoiding alcoholic beverages, which can dehydrate the body and thus increase the chance of a gouty attack. Losing weight also lowers the risk of a gouty attack and uric acid.

Answer 10

Alcohol, meat: Alcohol, red meat, organ meats, turkey, shellfish, and drinks with high fructose corn syrup. Some vegetables may be high in uric acid too, but vegetarians tend to do better with gout so i wouldn't avoid them.

Answer 11

Diet and uric acid: Take in tart cherry juice and tart cherries, 20/day. Add Lemon extract 4 tblspns / day. And avoid alcohol, animal fats, organ meats, anchovies, sardines, tuna, salmon, and shellfish. Limit other meats to 3 oz per day. Avoid high fructose corn syrup containing drinks and foods. Add egg whites, quinoa, soy as protein. Eat lots of citrus fruit and veggies. Drink 3 liters per day.

Answer 12

Mushrooms, peas...: Foods do not contain uric acid but have purines which are metabolized into uric acid. The vegetarian food highest in purines are asparagus, cauliflower, lentils, lima & navy beans, mushrooms, oatmeal, peas & spinach. These can usually be eaten in moderation. More important than avoiding these might be avoiding alcohol & high-fructose corn syrup, as these raise uric acid levels.
