A bowl of beef soup sent 11 people to the emergency room. Not food poisoning, but…

In recent days,

Department of Emergency Department, Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University

Eleven patients arrived overnight

All after the beef soup

Vomiting and diarrhea, severe abdominal pain

Is it food poisoning?

The doctor’s diagnosis was related to eating beef soup

After a series of examinations, the doctor said that the beef soup is indeed the problem, but not food poisoning, but the broth caused stone disease. It turned out that all the 11 patients suffered from gallstones, and beef soup, mutton soup, chicken soup and other “meat soup” foods contain a lot of purine, which is very easy to induce gallstones, but also increase the burden of kidney, thereby causing kidney disease.

But for this matter, some people also raised the voice of doubt

  1. At present, no literature has mentioned that purine can cause gallstones

2, these people because of drinking beef soup, overnight stones?

  1. For patients with gallstones, don’t they know they need a low-fat diet?

First, we need to understand how gallstones can form:

Cholesterol crystals form, about 80% of gallstones are like this

(2) the formation of bile pigment, about 20% of gallstones is this situation

The formation of gallstones is more complex, the final analysis is related to estrogen level and insulin secretion. Dietary factors, however, did not have a direct effect.

To allow gallstones to attack, the gallbladder must secrete a large amount of bile, but the bile duct was blocked by stones, unable to flow smoothly into the small intestine, resulting in reported symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

These behaviors increase the risk of gallstones: too much sweet food, especially in women over 40, obesity, pregnancy, insufficient exercise, high-fat foods, insufficient dietary fiber, family history, diabetes, blood disorders, fast weight loss, estrogen use, liver disease.

At present, there is no reference to purines causing gallstones, nor any conclusion that purines cause excessive bile secretion.

But there is a saying that overeating, or eating too greasy, can promote the secretion of bile. So in this sense, these people who eat a thick, fat-filled beef soup may be triggering gallstone attacks.

But be careful with the words, not “beef soup induces gallstones,” but that these people already have gallstones, and the beef soup only promotes the secretion of bile, resulting in painful abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms.

Beef soup is part of a high-purine diet, and in fact, a high-purine diet can cause these diseases

Damage to the kidney

Hyperuric acid caused by a long-term high-purine diet is a metabolic disorder that may be imaged in all organs of the body. Especially for the kidneys, it can cause kidney dysfunction.

When the kidneys are damaged, there is a problem with the excretion of urine, which exacerbates the buildup of uric acid in the body, creating a vicious cycle. As time passes, cause uremia likely.

Injury of blood vessels

Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disease caused by purine metabolic disorder. And high uric acid is very harmful to blood vessels, can cause coronary heart disease, cerebral thrombosis and other diseases.

According to the research, the increase of uric acid can contribute to the formation of atherosclerosis to some extent; Also can aggravate platelet aggregation and sodium absorption, easy to cause patients with acute coronary syndrome coronary thrombosis.

It has to be said that many patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, their uric acid levels are closely related to the disease.

hypertension

Experts say about half of gout patients have high blood pressure. The reason is that in the treatment of hypertension drugs, often use hypotensive diuretics, inhibit uric acid excretion, and make the uric acid value increased.

When uric acid rises to a certain level, blood pressure rises.

In addition, hyperuricemia causes high blood pressure.

diabetes

A high uric acid level increases the risk of diabetes, and diabetics with elevated uric acid levels are more likely to develop diabetic nephropathy complications.

Purine foods

  1. Ultra purine foods:

Animal viscera, seafood and aquatic products, such as old fire soup.

  1. Medium and high purine foods:

Meat: all kinds of livestock meat, some fish (perch, carp, crucian carp, grass carp, etc.), crustaceans and dried beans.

  1. Purine food:

All kinds of vegetables: tender stems (spinach, asparagus, etc.), flowers (cauliflower, etc.), tender beans (edamame, peas, etc.), aquatic products (salmon, tuna, etc.); Bean products (tofu, beancurd bamboo, etc.)

  1. Low-purine foods:

For those with high uric acid, this is the best food for you!

Purinines in food can be removed by “boiling” and “braising”

Since purines dissolve easily in water, they can be “boiled” or “stewed” to remove purines from food. It is important not to overdo the soup. Do not drink a large amount of purpura in a soup cooked with fish or meat. The soup after cooking vegetables is rich in vitamins, vitamins help to excrete uric acid, so gout, hyperuricemia patients can safely drink.

With the development of The Times, the pace of life is accelerating, People’s Daily routine is not normal, diet can not be balanced, now more and more people have the symptoms of high uric acid.

Relationship between high uric acid and gout: A high-purine diet causes high uric acid, which is the main cause of gout.

Uric acid is the waste product produced by the normal metabolism of the human body. In theory, this waste product should be discharged with a large amount of urine and a small amount with feces. However, due to some people’s physical conditions, uric acid is accumulated in the blood, and the accumulation of waste products will inevitably lead to diseases.

Ultimately, high-purine diets are the culprit, and the consequences of a long-term high-purine diet go well beyond gout.
