Uric Acid Presented By Assist.Lecturer Aseel Ghassan Daoud M.Sc. In pharmacy/ Clinical laboratory sciences

What is uric acid? It is the end product of metabolism of purines which are present in nucleic acids of nucleoproteins It is formed endogenously from nucleoproteins and exogenously from metabolism of purines taken in food

It is formed in liver and filtered by kidneys to be excreted in urine with little amount passes in stool. High uric acid levels in blood occur when its formation is too much or its excretion is low

What can high uric acid level in blood lead to? It will form solid crystals within joints which is painful and called gout if remain untreated it will lead to hard lumpy deposits called tophi It can also cause kidney stones or kidney failure

Why is uric acid test done? Help diagnose gout Check for kidney stones Check if medicines are working Check for uric acid level in patients on chemotherapy or radiation

Reference values: Child : 2 - 5.5 mg/dl Men : 3.5 - 7.2 mg/dl Women : 2.6 - 6 mg/dl

High values: Individual differences Kidney disease Cancers (leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma) or its treatments Hemolytic anemia, sickle cell anemia, heart failure Alcohol dependence, preeclampsia, obesity

Starvation, malnutrition, lead poisoning Lesch-Nyhan syndrome Medicines (diuretics, vit.c, niacin, warfarin) Foods

Low values: Sever liver disease, Wilson’s disease Syndrome of inappropriate ADH Diet low in proteins Large dose of aspirin, allopurinol
