  2. Uric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uric_acid

    Although foods such as meat and seafood can elevate serum urate levels, genetic variation is a much greater contributor to high serum urate. [ 26 ] [ 27 ] A proportion of people have mutations in the urate transport proteins responsible for the excretion of uric acid by the kidneys.

  3. Hyperuricemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperuricemia

    Hyperuricaemia or hyperuricemia is an abnormally high level of uric acid in the blood.In the pH conditions of body fluid, uric acid exists largely as urate, the ion form. [1] [2] Serum uric acid concentrations greater than 6 mg/dL for females, 7 mg/dL for males, and 5.5 mg/dL for youth (under 18 years old) are defined as hyperuricemia. [3]

  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. Gout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gout

    Arms and hands of a 50-year-old man, showing large tophi of sodium urate affecting the elbow, knuckles, and finger joints. The crystallization of uric acid, often related to relatively high levels in the blood, is the underlying cause of gout. This can occur because of diet, genetic predisposition, or underexcretion of urate, the salts of uric ...

  6. Tophus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tophus

    A tophus (Latin: "stone", pl.: tophi) is a deposit of monosodium urate crystals, in people with longstanding high levels of uric acid (urate) in the blood, a condition known as hyperuricemia. Tophi are pathognomonic for the disease gout. Most people with tophi have had previous attacks of acute arthritis, eventually leading to the formation of ...

  8. Protein toxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_toxicity

    Protein toxicity is the effect of the buildup of protein metabolic waste compounds, like urea, uric acid, ammonia, and creatinine.Protein toxicity has many causes, including urea cycle disorders, genetic mutations, excessive protein intake, and insufficient kidney function, such as chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury.

  9. Acute uric acid nephropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_uric_acid_nephropathy

    The picture of acute kidney failure is observed: decreased urine production and rapidly rising serum creatinine levels. Acute uric acid nephropathy is differentiated from other forms of acute kidney failure by the finding of a urine uric acid/creatinine ratio > 1 in a random urine sample.
