Hyperuricemia is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease.
In particular, high doses of fructose can cause hyperuricemia. In the kidney, urato crystals can be deposited that can result in tubular tubal kidney fibrosis with consequences of kidney dysfunction.
Components that help in antihyperuricemic action are substances that can contribute to reducing uric acid levels in the blood. Here are some examples
- Allopurinol. A medication that reduces the production of uric acid in the body.
- Febuxostat. Another medication that inhibits the enzyme xanthine oxidase, reducing uric acid production.
- Water. Adequate hydration can help dilute uric acid and promote its elimination through urine.
- Vitamin C. May help reduce uric acid levels in the blood.
- Cherries. Have been associated with reducing uric acid levels and preventing gout attacks.
- Dietary Fiber. Helps reduce uric acid levels through absorption and elimination.
- Low-Fat Dairy Products. Can help reduce uric acid levels.
- Coffee. Some studies suggest that coffee may reduce uric acid levels, although results are mixed.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Can help reduce inflammation associated with high uric acid levels.
- Limiting Intake of High-Purine Foods. Foods like red meats, organ meats, and certain types of fish are high in purines and can increase uric acid levels.

Components that can contribute to or exacerbate hyperuricemia include various factors that can increase uric acid levels in the blood. Here are some examples
- High-Purine Foods. Foods like red meats, organ meats, and certain types of fish can increase uric acid levels.
- Alcohol. Excessive consumption of alcohol, especially beer and strong spirits, can increase uric acid levels.
- High-Fructose Diet. Fructose, particularly in sugary drinks and syrups, can increase uric acid levels.
- Overweight and Obesity. A high body mass index can increase the risk of hyperuricemia.
- Dehydration. Lack of adequate hydration can concentrate uric acid in the blood.
- Kidney Failure. Reduced kidney function can lead to an accumulation of uric acid.
- Stress. Physical and emotional stress can affect uric acid levels.
- Vitamin C Deficiency. Low intake of vitamin C can be associated with higher uric acid levels.
- Genetic Factors. Genetic predisposition can affect uric acid levels and the risk of hyperuricemia.
