Uric acid formed in human body by purines
Answers
Uric acid is the byproduct of protein digestion, and in healthy individuals, it is removed from the blood stream and excreted by the kidneys. Excess uric acid is deposited in the joints in crystal form and creates a painful arthritic condition known as gout. The production of uric acid can be controlled by the amount of protein metabolized by the body. The body’s alkalinity and urine pH is a component in the quantity of uric acid produced.
Purines are nitrogen-containing compounds, which are made inside the cells of your body (endogenous), or come from outside of your body, from foods containing purine (exogenous). Purine breaks down into uric acid. Increased levels of uric acid from excess purines may accumulate in your tissues, and form crystals.
