Uric Acid Package
Gout is a type of joint disease that occurs due to too high uric acid levels in the blood. Elevated uric acid will form crystals in the joints, which trigger pain and swelling in various joints of the body. In addition to the joints, uric acid crystals can also form in the kidneys and urinary tract. Conditions that form can interfere with the kidneys or cause urinary tract stones.
