Uric Acid: Uric acid can cause a disturbance in a person’s entire lifestyle. When the amount of purine in your diet is very high, then uric acid starts increasing in the body. Uric acid is a kind of body waste which is formed when purine breaks down.
The kidneys themselves filter uric acid and remove it from the body. But if it starts forming in the body in excess, then these acid crystals start accumulating in the joints and then joint pain begins. These crystals start accumulating in the joints of the fingers and toes. Due to which swelling and pain start occurring in the body. If there is a problem of increased uric acid in the body, then first of all improve your diet.
