The panchabhoutika ahara that is ingested undergoes various paka by the jatharagni, bhootagni and the dhatwagni i.e, the metabolic activity and gets converted into the body elements and then gets ,assimilated in the body. Any impairment in the functions of agni leads to improper formation of shareera dhatus and their mala which becomes the cause for the manifestation of diseases in the body. In the Same way Purines perform many important functions in the cell, contribute to modulate energy metabolism and play important role in the physiology of platelets, muscles etc. Under physiological conditions purine metabolism maintain a balanced ratio between their synthesis and degradation and in humans the final compound of purines catabolism is Uric acid and the overproduction of uric acid, generated from the metabolism of purines is proven to play an emerging roles in disease production. So here an attempt is made in this article to discuss the various aspects of Uric acid metabolism according to ayurvedic perspective.
