High uric acid, also called hyperuricemia, can primarily lead to painful gout attacks due to the formation of uric acid crystals in joints, causing swelling, redness, and severe pain, most commonly affecting the big toe; it can also contribute to kidney stones, potential kidney damage, and is linked to increased risk of cardiovascular issues like high blood pressure and heart disease, especially when combined with other metabolic syndrome factors like obesity and diabetes.
