3) When is uric acid a warning sign?
Low to moderate levels of uric acid are normal. However, its accumulation can become dangerous.
Hyperuricemia is not just a problem with gout — it is also a marker for cardiovascular disease.
Studies show that people with high uric acid levels are more likely to suffer from:
-
hypertension;
-
diabetes;
-
kidney damage;
-
increased risk of stroke.
Why?
Excess uric acid promotes inflammation and damage to blood vessel walls. It “thickens” the blood, damages arteries, and in the long run can contribute to the formation of blood clots. This is a silent but serious warning signal.
