Uric acid is a substance that results from the breakdown of purines. A normal part of all human tissue, purines are found in many foods. Normally, uric acid is dissolved in the blood and passed through the kidneys into the urine, where it is eliminated.
If there is an increase in the production of uric acid or if the kidneys do not eliminate enough uric acid from the body, levels of it build up in the blood (a condition called hyperuricemia). Hyperuricemia also may result when a person eats too many high-purine foods, such as liver, dried beans and peas, anchovies, and gravies. Hyperuricemia is not a disease, and by itself it is not dangerous. However, if excess uric acid crystals form as a result of hyperuricemia, gout can develop. The crystals form and accumulate in the joint, causing inflammation. (acknowledgment of source The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS)

∙ 14y agoUrea is made in the the liver and removed from the body via the kidneys in the urine flow as the microscopic solid by product (i.e., the insoluble waste that will not be leaving via the anus) created along with urine.
It is an effective way of removing nitrogenous waste from the body in a relatively non toxic form

∙ 9y agoThe source of urea is the liver, since that is the organ that makes urea. Urea enters the bloodstream and then is filtered out by the kidneys.

What is the process called to form urea?
Diazolidinyl urea is produced by the chemical reaction of allantoin and formaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide solution and heat. The reaction mixture is then neutralized with hydrochloric acid and evaporated. Note: Diazolidinyl urea is an antimicronbial preservative used in cosmetics. It is chemically related to imidazolidnyl urea which is used in the same way. Diazolidinyl urea acts as a formaldehyde releaser. Commercial diazolidinyl urea is a mixture of different formaldehyde addition products including polymers. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diazolidinyl_urea
