In humans, the primary source of uric acid is the metabolic breakdown of purines, which are found in many food sources, including meat and seafood.<br><br>In a broader sense, "uric" can also refer to anything related to this compound, such as disorders or conditions involving uric acid imbalances, such as gout.<br><br>Additionally, "uric" can also be used as a prefix in chemistry to describe compounds that are related to uric acid or contain the uric acid backbone, such as uric salts and uric acid derivatives.<br><br>Examples of words that use the prefix "uric-" include:<br><br> Uric acid<br> Uric acidosis (a condition where the body has an excessive level of uric acid)<br> Urate (a type of compound that is similar to uric acid)<br> Uric acid stones (kidney stones caused by the build-up of uric acid crystals)<br> Lithouric (relating to the presence of uric acid in the urine)

Uricaemia

speak

Hyperuricemia, also known as hyperuricaemia, is a condition in which there is an elevated level of uric acid in the blood. It occurs when the body produces too much uric acid or the kidneys do not remove enough uric acid from the body. This can cause a number of health problems, including gout, kidney stones, and kidney disease. Symptoms of hyperuricemia may include: <br><br>- Redness and warmth around the joint or over the urinary tract <br>- Swelling and pain around the joint or over the urinary tract <br>- Limited range of joint motion <br>- Fatigue <br><br>This condition can be managed through a healthy lifestyle and sometimes medication.

Uricemia

speak

Uricemia refers to an excess of uric acid in the blood. Elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, known as hyperuricemia, can lead to conditions such as gout, kidney disease, and kidney stones. It can also increase the risk of other diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.

Uricosuric

speak

A term derived from the words "uric" (relating to uric acid) and "uric" (again) + "suric" (relating to urine), and the suffix "-ic" which forms an adjective. <br><br>A uricosuric is a type of medication or drug that increases the excretion of uric acid in the urine, reducing levels of uric acid in the blood. This can be beneficial for people suffering from gout or kidney stones.

Uricosurics

speak

Medications that increase the excretion of uric acid in the urine, often used to treat gout and hyperuricemia (high levels of uric acid in the blood).

Uricotelic

speak

Uricotelic: Relating to or characterized by a diet of high protein and low carbohydrate intake, leading to a high concentration of uric acid in the urine, typically associated with diurnal animals that obtain water from their food.

Uricotelism

speak

Uricotelism refers to an organism or animal that feeds on uricotelic animals, meaning those that eliminate waste in the form of uric acid. Uricotelic animals, such as many birds and reptiles, have a high concentration of uric acid in their blood, which is then excreted as a solid waste, whereas ureotelic animals (like mammals) excrete waste in the form of urea.

Uridine

speak

Uridine is a chemical compound containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

It is composed of a sugar molecule (ribose) and a phosphate group attached to uracil, which is linked to another sugar molecule.<br><br>In cellular biology, uridylate, also known as UMP (uridine monophosphate), plays a crucial role in the synthesis of RNA, DNA, and other biomolecules. It serves as an energy-rich molecule and is involved in various enzymatic reactions, including the formation of the RNA backbone.<br><br>Uridylate is also known to have other functions in living organisms, such as:<br><br>1. ATP synthesis: Uridylate is used as an energy carrier in the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).<br>2. RNA synthesis: Uridylate is incorporated into RNA molecules, contributing to their structure and stability.<br>3. Enzyme regulation: Uridylate can act as an allosteric regulator, binding to and modulating the activity of certain enzymes.<br><br>Overall, uridylate is an essential molecule in the process of nucleic acid synthesis and energy production within cells.

Urinalyses

speak

Urinalysis is a medical test where a urine sample is examined to assess various components, such as concentration, specific gravity, pH, and the presence of cells, proteins, or other substances in the urine. It is often used to check for various conditions, including urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and urinary tract stones.

Urinalysis

speak

A medical test or examination of the urine, often used to detect or monitor diseases or conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, or urinary tract infections.
