<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhat exactly does a high uric acid level mean, and should it be our concern?\u00a0 Uric acid is a waste product present in the blood. Uric acid is produced when compounds called purines are metabolized ^{[1]<\/sup><\/a>. Under normal conditions, uric acid passes through the kidneys and urine. However, when we eat food high in purine content, uric acid levels increase in the body, leading to the formation of uric acid crystals. This deposition of uric acid crystals in the body is called gout. Let\u2019s read about it in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
