Our body is a system that maintains a constant balance between various chemicals that play a vital role in our well-being. Among these substances, uric acid stands out for its importance and at the same time its ability to cause problems if its levels become unbalanced.
According to MedlinePlus, uric acid is a naturally occurring compound that is formed from the breakdown of purines, nitrogenous bases found in certain foods and in the body’s own cells.
Most uric acid is excreted in the urine, but if its production or elimination is impaired, excess can accumulate in the blood, leading to a condition known as hyperuricemia.

According to Dr. Juliana Lara in 1Doc3, “the normal value for uric acid is between 3.1 and 7 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) in men,” with slight variations depending on the laboratory. In this sense, a level of 6.5 mg/dL does not pose an immediate health risk.
However, it is important to maintain regular monitoring and take preventative measures such as exercise and reducing the consumption of purine-rich foods such as liver, anchovies, beans and beer.
This is a symptom of high blood pressure that manifests itself in the ears and few people take it into account.
This will prevent you from exceeding the level of 7 mg/dL, which is considered hyperuricemia, as indicated by the Spanish Rheumatology Foundation. In this disease, excess uric acid in the blood accumulates in the kidneys and joints, mainly in the arms and legs.
Once this chemical compound is found in these areas of the body, they turn into crystals, which in turn cause the disease of gout and kidney stones.
