Uric acid（Cat No.:R055792）, is a naturally occurring organic compound and the final product of purine metabolism in humans and some primates. It plays a significant role in the regulation of antioxidant activity. However, elevated levels of uric acid in the blood can lead to a medical condition known as hyperuricemia, which is linked to gout, a painful form of arthritis. Uric acid can crystallize in joints, causing inflammation and severe discomfort. It’s also associated with kidney stones when these crystals form in the urinary tract. Managing uric acid levels through diet and medication is crucial for preventing these health issues.
