Uric acid, also known as Uric deposit, is the end product of purine metabolism; the excretion of uric acid is the result of the process which results in the breakdown of a purine base (amines). Uric acid, which is formed from urea, urease, and free monohydrate, is a very weak acid, which combines with sodium ions […]

The human body produces uric acids when it breaks down certain purines, which are present in your food and also in your tissues and joints. When there’s too […]

Urinary tract obstruction is a major complication of hyperuricemia. Uric acid causes acidosis in the blood, which results in kidney damage. It is caused by the breakdown of purine molecules that are present in the blood. It is essential for proper cellular function but it tends to become too much when hyperuricemia is present. Some […]
