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.
usually called gout. Symptoms include painful and swollen joints, usually in the feet (though I've got it in my hands). I have found that to control I need to eat no red meat or shellfish. There is lots of information on the internet about the diet you should follow. I have found that eating a handful of cherries every day makes a difference, and so does drinking as much water as I can - should get up to 3 litres per day. And exercise!
I haven't heard it called uric acid disease. Is this the same as gout? If so, my brother, dad and grandfather all have it. Basically, it is when there is a build of up uric acid levels in the blood. It can cause kidney stones or a crystallization in the joints, both can be very painful.
