Main reasons for the increase in uric acid
Dietary habits (Purine-rich diet): The main reason is excessive consumption of foods high in purine.
Red meat (beef, mutton).
Sea fish (such as shrimp, sardines, mackerel).
Organ meats (liver, kidneys).
Sweet drinks and alcohol: Soft drinks containing fructose, packet juices, and excessive alcohol consumption (especially beer) quickly increase uric acid levels.
Decreased kidney function: When the kidneys are unable to remove waste from the blood, uric acid accumulates in the body.
Obesity: Obesity reduces the ability of the kidneys to excrete uric acid from the body.
Some health problems: Diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, psoriasis, etc. can cause uric acid to increase.
Medications: Some medications (such as diuretics to lower blood pressure) can increase uric acid levels.
Heredity: Some people are genetically predisposed to produce more uric acid.
