High-uric-acid
Elevated levels of uric acid, called hyperuricemia, occur when the body either produces too much uric acid or is unable to remove sufficient quantities of the substance through normal means. Normal uric acid levels range between 3 and 7 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter), according to MedlinePlus. High uric acid itself rarely produces any symptoms, but the condition may lead to more serious disorders, such as gout, kidney stones and even kidney failure.
