INTRODUCTION

Uric acid formed when a substance called purine is broken down in the body. Most of the uric acid produced in the body dissolves in the blood and is excreted through the kidneys. When uric acid is not able to get out of the body, then diseases like arthritis, joint pain, and gout and inflammation trouble.

Uric Acid Problem – Usually our body filters uric acid with the help of kidney, which gets out of the body with urine. If people consuming too much purine in food then it is unable to remove this uric acid from the body in proper amount, then in such a situation its amount starts increasing in the body and uric acid accumulates in the blood. High level of uric acid in the body also known as hyperuricemia. The increase uric acid causes inflammation in various muscles of the body, due to which pain starts. It also causes gout i.e. rheumatic disease. To keep uric acid under control, it is important to take special care of diet along with regular exercise, which helps to filter uric acid. That passes out of the body with urine.

HOW IS URIC ACID MADE?
Uric acid is made up of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. It is obtained by the body in the form of amino acids from proteins.
