This is the enzyme that recycles hypoxanthen and guanine, which are two of the genetic building blocks. When this enzyme is not present, the hypoxanthen and guanine are converted into excessive uric acid. Children around four to six months old are usually diagnosed with LND when orange, sand like uric acid crystals are observed in their diapers. These crystals cause painful urination, arthritis and kidney stones as they build up in various areas of the body. LNS had many symptoms. Affected people
of acute arthritis triggered by crystallization of uric acid which forms insoluble deposits of monosodium urate within joints and cartilage. Gout is often associated with high serum levels of uric acid which is a partially soluble substance that is the major end product of purine metabolism. Unlike other mammals, human lack uricase enzyme which catalyzes oxidative metabolism of uric acid to produce a more soluble compound allantoin. Excess uric acid levels can be due to urate under excretion, over
reduce risk and frequency of acute gout attacks and lower serum uric acid levels but also to maintain ideal health. There are many misconceptions about diet and gout. It is commonly thought that foods such as citrus foods cause gout. However, there is no evidence that this could be true. What is known is that some foods appear to trigger attacks of gout. Such foods contain high levels of purines, a compound that can be converted into uric acid in the body. One-third of the purine the body handles comes
it was often referred to as “disease of the kings” for this reason. In recent times it has been discovered which particular foods and lifestyles trigger gout. In most cases it is caused by too much uric acid in the blood,. An excess of uric acid is also known as hyperuricemia. This surplus of uric acid can lead to a build up of fluid surrounding the joints which form small crystals inside and around the joints. Gout typically results from genetic and environmental factors (Rheumatology (2009) 48 (suppl
Kidney stones are a result from the chemicals found in the urine. These chemicals are uric acid, calcium, phosphorus and oxalic acid. Kidney stone are tiny and hard deposits found in the kidney. They allow the urine to become concentrated and make the minerals and chemicals to crystallize and stick together. The pain can be severe and basically starts on the side or below the ribs and may go lower towards the groin and abdomen. Symptoms of kidney stones The symptoms or signs may or may not develop
levels may be elevated above 300mg/day if the parathyroid is analyzed for hyperactivity ruling it out. Urinary calculi are made up of calcium making them more detectable on a KUB depending on their size if it is less then 2 mm, but if the stone is uric acid it would make it undetectable in the KUB since it is radiolucent (Endocrine Diseases, 2017). It appears that an accurate evaluation determining urinary calculi is by means of a CT scan. It is able to be conducting quickly using the spiral or helical
Arthritis is a general term for approximately 100 diseases that produce either INFLAMMATION of connective tissues, particularly in joints, or noninflammatory degeneration of these tissues. The word means "joint inflammation," but because other structures are also affected, the diseases are often called connective tissue diseases. The terms rheumatism and rheumatic diseases are also used. Besides conditions so named, the diseases include gout, lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, degenerative

There are three variants of Tulsi; Rama Tulsi, Krishna Tulsi and Vana Tulsi. Each of the variants has its own distinctive taste. The Generally
kidney. There are many potential causes of a kidney stone. They are formed from any of the following, or even two of the following: · a family genetic predisposition to form stone · to local water or soil conditions · intake of excess uric acid, certain medications, Vitamin C, or Vitamin D · a diet of fruits and vegetables high in oxalate · long term dehydration and its resulting concentration of urine · urinary infection · living in an area where high temperatures cause
The Problems of Too Much Fat in a Body [IMAGE][IMAGE]Fats are compounds called trigylcerides, formed by a condensation reaction between glycerol and usually 3 fatty acids (the bond is called as ester linkage). The molecule is quite large and has long hydrocarbon tails. If every carbon atom is joined by a single C-C bond then we say it is SATURATED, if there is a double carbon bond C=C then we say this is unsaturated. [IMAGE] A chain with many C=C bonds is polyunsaturated. Most animal
Thiosulphate and Nitric Acid Planning Aim The aim of this investigation is to find out and observe how the temperature affects the rate of reaction. I am going to investigate the rate at which the solutions of nitric acid (HNO³) and sodium thiosulphate (Na²S²O³) turn cloudy (when mixed together), when the temperature is changed. Variables In this investigation I will only have one variable: § The temperature of both solutions (sodium thiosulphate and Nitric acid), so that I will
Liquid Liquid Extraction We were asked to extract benzoic acid from a kerosene-benzoic acid mixture. This was to be done using the stirred liquid-liquid extraction column in the senior laboratory. Fresh water was used as the continuous phase in the extraction. We were asked to measure the benzoic acid concentrations of the feed, raffinate, and extract streams. These measurements were to be made at several different steady-states. The number of theoretical stages and the height of the theoretical

The acidity or alkalinity level is dictated by the pH, potential of hydrogen, scale. Soil pH or soil reaction is an implication of the acidity or alkalinity of soil and is measured in pH units. Soil pH is characterized as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen particle fixation. As the measure of hydrogen particles in the soil builds the soil pH diminishes along these lines getting to be more acidic. From pH 7 to 0 the soil is progressively more acidic and from pH 7 to 14 the soil is progressively

Table 2.6 shows the effect of pulping conditions on black liquor viscosity. The viscosity may vary significantly from mill to mill. Viscosity increases with increased dry solids content. An increase in temperature lowers the viscosity. The practical limit for handling the liquor is the pumping limit of 300-500 cp. The viscosity must always be below this level, and is usually much lower in the evaporation plant. If the liquor at final concentration is stored at atmospheric pressure, the limit of
concentration on rates of reaction using Sodium Thiosulphate. and Hydrochloric Acid. The purpose of the experiment is to see how different volumes of Hydrochloric Acid affect the rate of reaction. The reaction, which produces solid Sulfur, it will then be followed by measuring the time needed for the reaction to become opaque/cloudy. Hypothesis: I predict that the higher the volume of concentrated Hydrochloric Acid the less time it will take for the cross to disappear. This experiment has to do
