An excellent question for your doctor. You may have pseudogout caused by calcium deposits. A doctor can test for this.

What is the biochemical significance of uric acid in human blood?

In human blood plasma, the reference range of uric acid is between 3.6 mg/dL (~214µmol/L) and 8.3 mg/dL (~494µmol/L) (1 mg/dL=59.48 µmol/L).[16] This range is considered normal by the American Medical Association. Uric acid concentrations in blood plasma above and below the normal range are known, respectively, as hyperuricemia and hypouricemia. Similarly, uric acid concentrations in urine above and below normal are known as hyperuricosuria and hypouricosuria. Such abnormal concentrations of uric acid are not medical conditions, but are associated with a variety of medical conditions.Excess serum accumulation of uric acid can lead to a type of arthritis known as gout.Elevated serum uric acid (hyperuricemia) can result from high intake of purine-rich foods, high fructose intake (regardless of fructose's low glycemic index (GI) value) and/or impaired excretion by the kidneys. Saturation levels of uric acid in blood may result in one form of kidney stones when the urate crystallizes in the kidney. These uric acid stones are radiolucent and so do not appear on an abdominal plain x-ray or CT scan. Their presence must be diagnosed by ultrasound for this reason. Very large stones may be detected on x-ray by their displacement of the surrounding kidney tissues. Some patients with gout eventually get uric kidney stones.Gout can occur where serum uric acid levels are as low as 6 mg/dL (~357µmol/L), but an individual can have serum values as high as 9.6 mg/dL (~565µmol/L) and not have gout.[18]Lesch-Nyhan syndromeLesch-Nyhan syndrome, an extremely rare inherited disorder, is also associated with very high serum uric acid levels.Spasticity, involuntary movement and cognitive retardation as well as manifestations of gout are seen in cases of this syndrome.
