uric acid
A waste product that is formed when the body breaks down purines, which are found in many foods and are also produced by the body. Normally, uric acid is dissolved in the blood and excreted in the urine. However, if the body produces too much uric acid or if the kidneys cannot excrete it properly, uric acid can accumulate in the blood, leading to a condition known as hyperuricemia. This can cause gout, a type of arthritis, and kidney stones.
