What Is Uric Acid and How Does It Cause Gout?

Uric acid occurs quite naturally in your blood and urine. It is actually a byproduct of a reaction in your body that supplies your energy and protein needs. The key elements in this process are chemical compounds called "purines" which are also a natural part of your make-up, but crucially, also appear in our foods.

As part of the process described above, these purines eventually breakdown and acid is produced in your bloodstream as a result. Your kidneys then process and expel excess uric acid from your body by way of your urine. Now, as long as your kidneys are working efficiently, and, not too much uric acid is being produced for your kidneys to handle, then 'normal' acid levels, that don't generally cause any problems, circulate in your blood.

However, if either one of the two scenarios above isn't met, then there will be an excess of acid circulating in your blood. The result is that uric acid in the form of crystals can be accumulated in and around your joints, causing the ... more.
