Uric acid is produced as a byproduct of purine digestion.
Uric acid is normally dissolved in our blood, filtered by the kidneys, and excreted through urine.
However, uric acid can build up if you consume too many purine-rich foods. Hyperuricemia is when uric acid levels remain elevated in the body, frequently leading to gout.
Generally, the uric acid level of women is considered normal between 2.5 to 6 mg/dL. The uric acid level of adult men is normal from 3.5 to 7 mg/dL.
