Uric acid is a waste byproduct from the digestion of foods that contains Purines (component of protein). Purine are a type of chemical compound found in foods and drinks that are a part of natural diet. Purines that a person eats, are metabolized by the body. Specially, liver breaks down the purines and produces a waste product called uric acid. The uric acid is released into the bloodstream and is eventually filtered by kidneys and excreted in the urine.
If too much uric acid builds up in the bloodstream it is called Hyperuricemia.
In some people, hyperuricemia can cause kidney stones and intense inflammatory joint conditions called Gout. Other people have absolutely no symptoms of high uric acid levels and they are referred as – “asymptomatic”.
Most of the uric acid leaves your body when you pee, and some when you poop.
80% by pee
20% by stool
- Your body needs 6 mg/dl uric acid.
Purines can be divided into two categories:
