The common belief is that uric acid is only dangerous when it causes joint pain. But research now shows a deeper link between high uric acid and kidney damage. A study found that people with elevated uric acid levels are more likely to develop chronic kidney disease, even if they don’t have gout symptoms.
Uric acid, when it builds up in the blood, can form tiny crystals that settle not just in joints but also in the kidneys. Over time, these crystals may cause inflammation, reduce kidney function, and even lead to kidney stones. The worrying part? It can silently affect kidney health without showing major symptoms until damage is already done.
