Answer:
Uric acid is a heterocyclic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen with the formula C₅H₄N₄O₃. It forms ions and salts known as urates and acid urates, such as ammonium acid urate. Uric acid is a product of the metabolic breakdown of purine nucleotides, and it is a normal component of urine.

Answer:
Uric acid is a waste byproduct. It's formed when your body breaks down purines, which are found in some foods. Purines show up when cells die and get taken apart. Most of the uric acid leaves your body when you pee, and some when you poop. If you have high levels of uric acid, it can be a sign of disease such as gout.
