Description

Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.drugs.com/dict/uric-acid.html | http://www.wikidoc.org/index.php/Uric_acid

Uric acid, generated from the metabolism of purines, has proven and emerging roles in human disease. Humans produce large quantities of uric acid. Excess serum accumulation of uric acid can lead to a type of arthritis known as gout. Hyperuricemia may increase risk factors for cardiovascular disease. High serum uric acid was associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes and other diseases.
