  2. Hyperuricosuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperuricosuria

    Hyperuricosuria is a medical term referring to the presence of excessive amounts of uric acid in the urine. For men this is at a rate greater than 800 mg/day, and for women, 750 mg/day. [1] Notable direct causes of hyperuricosuria are dissolution of uric acid crystals in the kidneys or urinary bladder, and hyperuricemia.

  3. Hyperuricemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperuricemia

    Unless high blood levels of uric acid are determined in a clinical laboratory, hyperuricemia may not cause noticeable symptoms in most people. [4] Development of gout – which is a painful, short-term disorder – is the most common consequence of hyperuricemia, which causes deposition of uric acid crystals usually in joints of the extremities, but may also induce formation of kidney stones ...

  4. Hypouricemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypouricemia

    Hypouricemia or hypouricaemia is a level of uric acid in blood serum that is below normal. In humans, the normal range of this blood component has a lower threshold set variously in the range of 2 mg/dL to 4 mg/dL, while the upper threshold is 530 μmol/L (6 mg/dL) for women and 619 μmol/L (7 mg/dL) for men.

  5. Uric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uric_acid

    Uric acid is a heterocyclic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen with the formula C 5 H 4 N 4 O 3. It forms ions and salts known as urates and acid urates, such as ammonium acid urate. Uric acid is a product of the metabolic breakdown of purine nucleotides, and it is a normal component of urine. [1]

  6. Fractional excretion of sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_excretion_of_sodium

    Fractional excretion of other substances can be measured to determine kidney clearance including urea, uric acid, and lithium. These can be used in patients undergoing diuretic therapy, since diuretics induce a natriuresis. Thus, the urinary sodium concentration and FE Na may be higher in patients receiving diuretics in spite of prerenal ...

  7. Uricosuric - Wikipedia

    By decreasing plasma uric acid levels, help dissolve these crystals, while limiting the formation of new ones. However, the increased uric acid levels in urine can contribute to kidney stones . Thus, use of these drugs is contraindicated in persons already with a high urine concentration of uric acid ( hyperuricosuria ).

  8. Urinary tract infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinary_tract_infection

    A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that affects a part of the urinary tract. [1] Lower urinary tract infections may involve the bladder (cystitis) or urethra while upper urinary tract infections affect the kidney (pyelonephritis). [10]

  9. Anuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anuria

    High blood calcium, oxalate, or uric acid, can contribute to the risk of stone formation. In males, an enlarged prostate gland is a common cause of obstructive anuria. Acute anuria, where the decline in urine production occurs quickly, is usually a sign of obstruction or acute kidney failure .
