High uric acid can cause high blood pressure.

Patient's question:

Today morning, our unit alliance went to the hospital for a health check-up. When testing the urine, the doctor said my uric acid level is high, and I also have a bit of high blood pressure. I don't know if high uric acid can lead to high blood pressure.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, patients with high uric acid are prone to developing gout, but high uric acid does not necessarily lead to hypertension. If hypertension occurs, it is necessary to take timely medication to treat it and prevent blood pressure from rising, which may lead to various brain diseases. In terms of diet, it is important to maintain a light and balanced diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, as well as seafood. It is also necessary to cultivate good lifestyle habits.
