What Happens When Uric Acid Increases in Your Body?
Uric acid, the most significant antioxidant present in human bodily fluids, is a critical waste product. Elevated uric levels can occur often due to impaired kidney function and the use of medications such as diuretics. In addition to kidney stones and chronic renal illness, excessive uric acid levels can result in other issues such as crystals forming in the joints, causing gout. Doctors advise having frequent medical check-ups including a blood test every six months, to help the doctor identify and diagnose any concerns.
