• Notes :

  Uric acid is the end-product of purine metabolism. Nearly half of the total uric acid is eliminated and replaced each day by way of urinary excretion and through microbial degradation in the intestinal tract. Increased uric acid levels are commonly associated with both nitrogen retention and urea, creatinine, and other non-protein constituents. The quantification of uric acid is an aid in the diagnosis of gout, decreased renal function, myeloproliferative disorders, and other conditions in which the cause for the hyperuricemia is not well known.
