Uric Acid Manufacturers

Uric acid is a chemical created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Purines are found in some foods and drinks, such as liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans and peas, beer, and wine. Most uric acid dissolves in blood and travels to the kidneys, where it passes out in urine. High levels of uric acid in the body are called hyperuricemia. This test checks to see how much uric acid is in the blood.
