Article No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This is a review article about high uric acid in the blood, the waste product that causes gout. The authors describe how it is tied to heart disease, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. A review of this kind gathers and discusses existing work, so it reports no new results of its own. It does not show that lowering uric acid protects your kidneys or your heart.
