Hypoxanthine
Explanation: Hypoxanthine is a natural substance in the body that forms when cells break down components of DNA and RNA. It is a product of normal cellular activity and eventually gets converted into uric acid, which is removes through urine.
Test purpose:
- Monitor gout or hyperuricemia: Since hypoxanthine is a precursor to uric acid, abnormal levels may signal an increased risk of gout or kidney stones.
- Assess kidney function: Elevated hypoxanthine levels may occur if the kidneys aren’t filtering waste properly.
