Overview
Purine is a building block for DNA and RNA, and it is usually found in food items like sweetened beverages, alcohol, and seafood. If the purine levels are higher, it can cause a spike in the uric acid levels. Some treatments for cancer like chemotherapy can release higher purine into the blood, which is why the uric acid test has to be done frequently. This will help in timely detection and management of this condition.
