as the abundance of uric acid that form into crystals lodge into the joint. This can caused when the kidney is incapable of filtering out the uric acid from the blood and excreting it as urine. However‚ since uric acid has Iimited solubility in bodily fluids‚ gout is primarily caused when hyperuricemia occurs where the high levels of uric acid exceeds the rate of it solubility in the bloodstream. Hence‚ due to this homeostatic imbalance of purines‚ the remaining undissolved uric acid forms into these

In other cases‚ kidney stones can form as a result of uric acid crystal accumulation in the urinary tract (Balch‚ 2010: 458).

Hyperuricemia can lead to uric acid crystals precipitating in the joints‚ skin‚ vessels and other tissues‚ this is a form of inflammatory arthritis known as gout. Uric acid is a metabolite of purine metabolism therefore gout can aptly be characterized as a disorder of purine metabolism. The disorder
