URIC ACID

Uric acid is the residual metabolism of purine substances derived from the foods we consume or byproducts from the breakdown of cells in the blood. Normal uric acid levels are 2.4 - 6 for women and 3.0 - 7 for men. Uric acid disease is a disease characterized by abrupt and recurrent attacks of painful arthritis due to crystal monosodium crystal deposits, collected in the joints as a result of high levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia).
Under normal circumstances, uric acid is released in the body through the feces and urine, but because the kidneys are unable to excrete uric acid, it increases levels in the body. Another thing that can increase uric acid levels is that we consume too much food containing many purines. Excess uric acid will then accumulate in the joints causing pain or swelling.
