Uric acid, which is found naturally in the blood stream, is formed as the body breaks down waste products, mainly those containing purine, a substance that is produced by the body and is also found in high concentrations in some foods

uric acid comes from metabolic wastes and from the diet. especially foods that are rich in purines. Uric acid is normally cleared from the blood stream with urine, however some times due to ether a genetic predisposition to producing to much uric acid or possibly as the result of kidney problems this acid can not be kept under control. when this happens gout can be the result.
