The Link Between Uric Acid and Gout: Exploring the Connection

Uric acid, a natural waste product, is produced when the body breaks down certain foods and cells.

When uric acid levels in the blood become elevated, gout, a form of arthritis, can develop.

High levels of uric acid lead to the formation of sharp crystals in the joints, causing inflammation and severe pain.
