3. Blood Vessels
Elevated blood uric acid levels, when deposited in the walls of blood vessels, can cause persistent damage to the vascular endothelium, leading to risks such as vascular wall inflammation, atherosclerosis, and blood clots. The harm of high uric acid to blood vessels may also lead to hypertension and increase the risk of diseases such as hyperlipidemia.
4. Kidneys
The kidneys are the main excretion site for uric acid. If uric acid levels are too high, it can create pressure on the kidneys, leading to kidney damage or impaired kidney function. This can prevent uric acid from being excreted into the bloodstream, creating a vicious cycle.
