Uric acid, natural waste that is formed when the body destroys purines, substances that are in a certain food, such as lentils, spinach, and is made by our kidneys naturally. Now, usually uric acid is dissolved in the blood, passing through the kidneys and eliminated in the urine, but if too much uric acid in your body, and your kidneys cannot remove it, it causes a condition called hyperurikemia, which further leads to gout (form of arthritis) or kidney stones.
