Uric acid is a by product of purines being broken down by the body's
digestive and waste system , which in turn breaks down and builds up
body and food tissues through food intake.
Generally the uric acid is dissolved in the blood and also flushed out through the kidneys.
When the Uric acid levels are high, it is known as Hyperuricaemia.

an inflammatory reaction in and around the tendon areas.
This inflammatory reaction is due to the body producing white blood

into the synovial sacks and cartilage between joints.
