There are on-going studies on this treatment, but it is safe to try for the most part and usually inexpensive.

[size=large][b]MSM is Often Found in Some of the Foods that We Eat, Though in Rather Small Doses[/b][/size][hr]It comes in food items like milk, which probably has the highest amounts of MSN of all food sources. It is also in some meats and fish, and many fresh fruits and vegetables. Some of this is lost when the foods are cooked, so meats might fall off the list as a possible source of MSM, especially if you're currently avoiding high purine foods. Thankfully, MSM is also available as a supplement in powered form, which you can add to drinks, or in capsule form that you can take like a pill. Alternatively, there are creams you can purchase that contain MSM, which can be applied to the effected joints.

[size=large][b]Definition[/b][/size][hr] Uric acid tests are tests that are done to measure the levels of uric acid in blood serum or in urine.
[size=large][b]Purpose[/b][/size][hr]

[list][*]Decreased [i]excretion[/i] of uric acid is seen in chronic kidney disease, low thyroid, toxemia of pregnancy, and alcoholism.[*]Patients with gout excrete less than half the uric acid in their blood as other persons.[*]Only 10-15% of the total cases of hyperuricemia, however, are caused by gout. [/list]


[size=large][b]Description[/b][/size][hr] The uric acid blood test is performed on a sample of the patient's blood, withdrawn from a vein into a vacuum tube. The procedure, which is called a venipuncture, takes about five minutes. The urine test requires the patient to collect all urine voided over a 24-hour period, with the exception of the very first specimen. The patient keeps the specimen container on ice or in the refrigerator during the collection period. Even the beginner will get to learn more about Purine Metabolism after reading this article. It is written in easy language so that everyone will be able to understand it.


[size=large][b]Abnormal results[/b][/size][hr] The critical value for the blood test is a level of uric acid higher than 12 milligrams per deciliter (about 4 ounces).

[size=medium][b]Blood test[/b][/size]
Reference values for blood uric acid vary from laboratory to laboratory but are generally found within the following range: Male: 2.1-8.5 mg/dL; female: 2.0-6.6 mg/dL. Values may be slightly higher in the elderly.


[size=medium][b]Urine test[/b][/size]
Patients should be checked for the following medications before the urine test: diuretics, aspirin, pyrazinamide (Tebrazid), phenylbutazone, probenecid (Benemid), and allopurinol (Lopurin). If the patient needs to continue taking these medications, the laboratory should be notified. This is a dependable source of information on Uric Acid Blood Test. All that has to be done to verify its authenticity is to read it!

[i]Abnormally low uric acid levels may indicate that the patient is taking allopurinol or probenecid for treatment of gout; may be pregnant; or suffers from Wilson's disease or Fanconi's syndrome.[/i]


[size=medium][b]Urine test[/b][/size]
Reference values for 24-hour urinary uric acid vary from laboratory to laboratory but are generally found within the following range: 250-750 mg/24 hours.

[size=large][b]Risks[/b][/size][hr] Risks for the blood test are minimal, but may include slight bleeding from the puncture site, a small bruise or swelling in the area, or fainting or feeling lightheaded. Using our imagination has helped us create a wonderful article on Increased Uric Acid Levels. Being imaginative is indeed very important when writing about Increased Uric Acid Levels!

[size=large][b]You Wish to Learn More about Steve or to Request Training[/b][/size][hr]Or nutrition information, please check out his website: http://www.bodybuiltbyvictoria.com We have avoided adding flimsy points on Uric Acid Blood Levels, as we find that the addition of such points have no effect on Uric Acid Blood Levels.

Increased [i]production[/i] of uric acid may result from eating foods that are high in purine. Increased uric acid levels due to overproduction may also be caused by gout, by a genetic disorder of purine metabolism, or by metastatic cancer, destruction of red blood cells, leukemia, or cancer chemotherapy. We have included some fresh and interesting information on Uric Acid Gout. In this way, you are updated on the developments of Uric Acid Gout.

[list][*]Certain foods that are high in purine may increase the patient's levels of uric acid.[*]These include kidneys, liver, sweetbreads, sardines, anchovies, and meat extracts.[/list]

[size=large][b]The Laboratory Should Also be Notified If the Patient Has[/b][/size][hr]Had recent x-ray tests requiring contrast dyes. These chemicals increase uric acid levels in urine and decrease them in blood. We cannot be blamed if you find any other article resembling the matter we have written here about Kidney Stone.
