Avatar n tn Uric acid is a byproduct of the chemical breakdown of compounds called 'purines' that exist in our body's cells and in our food. Purines are very important to us because they provide things like our energy that we all need and our protein. During this process uric acid is produced in the bloodstream. And uric acid is good for us because it acts as an antioxidant and helps look after the internal linings of our blood vessels.
Avatar f tn The color variation seen under polarized light is quite typical of uric acid. With rare exceptions, uric acid crystals are of little clinical value and represent a punctual situation.
107366 tn?1305680375 When you have a build-up of uric acid in the kidneys, urine tends to be quite acidic. Citrates make urine more alkaline, and in an alkaline environment, uric acid will dissolve, allowing you to rid yourself of it when you urinate. He said if you tend to have gout, or kidney stones (I'm pretty sure most of my family is "gritty"!), it's not a bad thing to have a Fresca a day to help keep the kidneys cleaned out.
517981 tn?1216782018 Well my blood work came back negetive for uric acid and also lyme, so now I have to do a 24 hour urine test, my family loves the thought of a bottle of urine in the fridge, lol. I am still very confused on how this happened. The last 6 months have sucked. I had pancreatitis in oct and had my gall bladder removed then, now they are looking into whether that was related to the gout/uric acid. Any input?

Avatar f tn My doctor called and said my uric acid levals in my kidneys is high what happens if it stays high she had tested for it last week too and it came back high then (I'm 31 weeks)
Avatar f tn I bought a uric acid meter to test which foods spike my blood uric acid levels, also I test my urine PH. I found there is a correlation with high uric acid and high PH with my skin condition and my other issues. With Gout you have to follow a strict diet to maintain your low levels.
428030 tn?1238281498 Sometimes with Gout you can get uric acid stones in the kidneys and this can cause blood to appear in the urine. While this should definitely be reported to the doctor, it is likely related to the Gout.
Avatar n tn Yes like they said screw criteria. I was just diagnosed with gout in my knee after is swelled up and they drained it. I had MRSA at the time so they checked the fluid for infection, it was clear of infection but contained a high amount of Uric acid. Which surprised my drs because its more of a male disorder and in women in normal occurs in post menapausal women. I am 44 and pre menapausal. From what I understand its your bodies inability to process proteins properly.
Avatar n tn I went to doctor and he asked me to do a CBC, ESR and uric acid test. The results showed high uric acid level i.e. 8.5 whereas CBC is normal and ESR was 5 which is again normal. He prescribed me adenuric for 15 days and I got myself tested after 15 days and it was 3.5 in my next uric acid test. I left the medicine but body aches and joint pains remain same. Pain is in shoulder joint, arms muscles and back side and also in hip bone. I got myself tested for vitamin D and it was 16.
