The results from a urinalysis and blood analysis show the following values. (sodium)plasma- 1.2 mg/L (creatinine)plasma = 0.05 mg/L [uric acid)plasma = 0.08 mg/L [urea)plasma=0.2 mg/L (sodium]urine = 2 mg/L [creatinine]urine = 4 mg/L [uric acid]urine = 0.8 mg/L [urea]urine = 25 mg/L Total urine volume = 1.8 L/day A) Calculate the percentage excretion rate for uric acid in this individual. B) Based on the calculated excretion rate (normal excretion rates of uric acid in humans is approximately 10% per day) and what you know about the handling of uric acid in a healthy individual, briefly describe what conclusions you can draw about uric acid handling in this individual.
