1. What is a purine?
Purine is a substance that occurs in many foods, especially in healthy foods. But when the human body absorbs too much purine, it will produce uric acid by itself. This substance, when accumulated in bones and joints for too long, will complicate bone and joint diseases, or gout.
With gout patients will be advised by the doctor to use a purine-restricted diet. Limitation does not mean complete elimination because purine is found in many healthy foods such as beef, fish, seafood, etc. If applied properly, it will help reduce pain and inflammation in joints.
Purine can be divided into two types:
Endogenous purine: This is the result of the nucleic acid metabolism in the body. At its simplest, it can be understood that the body can regenerate purine on its own. Exogenous purines: Entered from the outside through eating or drinking. Exogenous purines are more or less completely dependent on the diet of each person.
2. Causes of purine regeneration disorder
There are many causes leading to the disorder of purine regeneration in the body but known can refer to Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency. Quite a few people have this disease, because it is a disease caused by a genetic disorder on the chromosomes. Lack of this substance causes the body to have a disorder in purine regeneration because it cannot make adenine. Oxidized adenines produce a precipitation reaction in the urinary tract. Immediately causing kidney pain, infection and even kidney failure if not treated promptly.
