Product Overview :
Uric Acid Assay Kit is a quantitative colorimetric uric acid determination at 590 nm.
Description :
Uric acid is the waste product produced from the degradation of purines. In healthy human, uric acid is filtered and removed from the blood by the kidneys and excreted into urine. Because a number of kidney diseases are known to affect uric acid levels, uric acid determination is thus important and useful in diagnosing and evaluating kidney diseases. For example, when uric acid is present in the blood at abnormally high levels, it tends to crystallize in body joints, resulting in gout, a very painful inflammatory condition. Increased levels of uric acid are also known to be associated with uremia, leukemia and pneumonia.
Applications :
Direct Assays: uric acid in serum, plasma, urine and other biological samples.Drug Discovery/Pharmacology: effects of drugs on uric acid metabolism.
