The 18 pages that link to Uric acid, each with the reason it gives.

• GoutNarrower topic: Urate is the circulating form whose excess can crystallize and produce gout.

• FructoseRelated: Rapid hepatic fructose metabolism can increase uric acid production.

• PurineBroader topic: Purine catabolism in humans terminates in this oxidation product.

• Amniotic eggRelated: Its low solubility lets an egg-bound embryo store waste with limited water.

• Purine metabolismBroader topic: Human purine breakdown ends here because humans lack functional uricase.

• Urea cycleCompared with: Unlike urea, it is produced from purine metabolism and is less water-soluble.

• AllopurinolRelated: Lowering its production is allopurinol’s principal biochemical effect.

• HyperuricemiaRelated: Blood urate is measured relative to this acid–base pair.

• Calcium oxalateCompared with: Uric acid stones are a chemically different type of kidney stone.

• NephrolithiasisRelated: Low urine pH and high uric acid concentration promote uric acid stones.

• Xanthine oxidaseRelated: Xanthine oxidase produces it in the pathway’s final oxidation.

• FebuxostatRelated: Febuxostat lowers its concentration in blood by reducing its production.

• XanthineRelated: Xanthine oxidoreductase forms uric acid by oxidizing xanthine.

• Lesch–Nyhan syndromeRelated: Its overproduction causes hyperuricemia and can produce kidney and joint complications.

• New World vultureRelated: Vultures cool their legs by defecating on them, a behavior called urohidrosis.

• Kidney stone diseaseRelated: High urinary uric acid can form stones or promote calcium oxalate crystallization.

• InosineRelated: Inosine breakdown feeds pathways that ultimately produce uric acid.

• AllantoinCompared with: Humans excrete uric acid, whereas many other organisms continue its breakdown to allantoin.
