Description
Uric acid is produced during the breakdown of DNA and RNA and is excreted by the kidneys. When its concentration in the blood becomes too high, it precipitates as crystals,
which cause joint pain. Uric acid crystals are absorbed by mast cells, which secrete inflammatory mediators—gout attacks.
The importance of uric acid testing: diagnosis and monitoring of gout therapy.
Abnormal values: gout, kidney failure, diseases associated with increased cell destruction.
