• Uric Acid Increased

  On follow-up, it was confirmed that as serum C3 level returned to normal, urinary excretion of uric acid increased and serum uric acid level decreased, thereby resolving the burning pain of the left big toe. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Stones form due to increased uric acid excretion, acidic urine and substances decreasing uric acid solubility. Uric acid nephropathy exclusively develops at very high serum-uric acid levels. [lecturio.com]
