[size=large][b]Uric Acid is a Waste Product that Results from the[/b][/size][hr]Breakdown of purine, a nucleic acid. (Nucleic acids are the building blocks of DNA.) Uric acid is made in the liver and excreted by the kidneys. If the liver produces too much uric acid or the kidneys excrete too little, the patient will have too much uric acid in the blood. This condition is called hyperuricemia. Supersaturated uric acid in the urine (uricosuria) can crystallize to form kidney stones that may block the tubes that lead from the kidneys to the bladder (the ureters).

[size=large][b]The Internet Guide: Gout[/b][/size][hr]Http://gout.smartadsscrets.com The Internet Guide: Purines - http://gout.smartadssecrets.com/purines We have to be very flexible when talking to children about Gout. They seem to interpret things in a different way from the way we see things!

[list][*]The laboratory should also be notified if the patient has had recent x-ray tests requiring contrast dyes.[*]These chemicals increase uric acid levels in urine and decrease them in blood.[/list]


[size=large][b]Precautions[/b][/size][hr]
[size=medium][b]Blood test[/b][/size]
Patients scheduled for a blood test for uric acid should be checked for the following medications: loop diuretics (Diamox, Bumex, Edecrin, or Lasix); ethambutol (Myambutol); vincristine (Oncovin); pyrazinamide (Tebrazid); thiazide diuretics (Naturetin, Hydrex, Diuril, Esidrix, HydroDiuril, Aquatensen, Renese, Diurese); aspirin (low doses); acetaminophen (Tylenol); ascorbic acid (vitamin C preparations); levodopa (Larodopa); or phenacetin. These drugs can affect test results.

Increased [i]production[/i] of uric acid may result from eating foods that are high in purine. Increased uric acid levels due to overproduction may also be caused by gout, by a genetic disorder of purine metabolism, or by metastatic cancer, destruction of red blood cells, leukemia, or cancer chemotherapy.
