The body has no trouble dealing with the presence of uric acid. it is a n important oxidant that helps look after the system. It becomes a problem however when too much of it turns into uric acid crystal leading to gouty Arthritis.
no
yes
It simply refers to the concentration of uric acid in the blood.
give structure of reaction mechanism of uric acid
used to evaluate the blood levels of uric acid for gout and to assess uric acid levels in the urine for kidney stone formation
Uric Acid is not water soluble due to it's toxic and acidic base.
no
yes
Purines. When cells animal or plant, die and are broken down Uric acid is the chemical formed when purines have been broken down completely.
No tobacco is a leafy vegetable and is relatively low in purines which are the part of living cells that lead to the production of uric acid.
Gout Is a kind of arthritis that occurs when uric acid builds up in blood producing uric acid crystals causing joint inflammation. Uric acid is breakdown product of Purines which are fond in the nucleus of living cells.
No Arthritis can be a symptom of a high level of uric acid as in the case of Gouty arthritis for example. In that case the arthritis is the result of a high concentration of uric acid in the blood leading to the Uric acid crystallising into fine sharp shards which in turn settle in certain joints and other areas of the body. the kidneys are supposed to clean uric acid from the system. Uric acid is metabolised from purines which are a part of the nucleus of the living cells we eat and those that we turn over in our own body's as cells die and are replaced. Different foods for example produce more or less uric acid.
Foods don't have Uric acid in them. Uric acid is metabolised by the body when it has to deal with purines. purines are present in all living cells. KALE however is very low in purines about the same as cabbage. and can be safely eaten
Kidneys excrete urea which is a less concentrated form of uric acid and toxic waste .
Purines that are part of the nucleus of living cells.
The main function of kidneys is to filter uric acid out of the blood, so if they are not functioning normally, uric acid will build up in the blood, eventually reaching a toxic concentration.
Surgery will tend to increase the amount of uric acid in the blood as the body repairs and metabolizes the purines in the cells killed as a result of the surgery.
