Health Question & Answer
The blood uric acid test measures the amount of uric acid in a blood sample. Uric acid is produced from the natural breakdown of your body's cells and from the foods you eat.
Most of the uric acid is filtered out by the kidneys and passes out of the body in urine. A small amount passes out of the body in stool. But if too much uric acid is being produced or if the kidneys are not able to remove it from the blood normally, the level of uric acid in the blood increases.
High levels of uric acid in the blood can cause solid crystals to form within joints. This causes a painful condition called gout. If gout remains untreated, these uric acid crystals can build up in the joints and nearby tissues, forming hard lumpy deposits called tophi. High levels of uric acid may also cause kidney stones or kidney failure.

serkanalasyaa,
Uric acid is the end product of purine degradation. It is catalyzed by the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is responsible for the production of uric acid and damaging free radicals. This is a central link in the association between serum uric acid and myocardial ischemia, myocardial dysfunction and non-cardial function, which is determined primarily by impaired peripheral blood flow. The inhibition of xanthine oxidase with allopurinol may be used in future treatment of heart patients. Higher than normal uric acid levels mean that the body is not handling the breakdown of purines well. The doctor will have to learn whether the cause is the over-production of uric acid, or if the body is unable to clear away the uric acid. Increased concentrations of uric acid can cause crystals to form in the joints, which leads to the joint inflammation and pain characteristic of gout. Uric acid can also form crystals or kidney stones that can damage the kidneys. Many drugs can increase or decrease the level of uric acid. In particular, diuretic drugs like thiazide drugs can cause uric acid levels to go up. Aspirin (and other salicylates) have varying effects on uric acid. At low aspirin levels - as may occur in persons taking aspirin only occasionally,- aspirin can increase blood uric acid. Alternatively, in high doses -as may be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, - aspirin actually lowers the concentration of uric acid. For people who have uric acid kidney stones or gout, foods that are high in purine content should be avoided, including organ meats (like liver and kidneys), sardines and anchovies. Alcohol also should be avoided, because it slows down the removal of uric acid from the body. Fasting, a starvation diet, and strenuous exercise all raise uric acid levels. Although the uric acid test does not definitively diagnose gout, a test for monosodium urate in synovial fluid does.
ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. - MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.
