Abstract

Uric acid is a byproduct of purine metabolism, mostly found as urate (ionic form) in body fluids. The concentration of uric acid in the blood depends on the synthesis and excretion of uric acid. Hyperuricemia is an important marker for metabolic disease and also associated with various forms of arthritis including osteoarthritis (OA).
