Purines are substances that are contained in all cells of the human body. They are also found in all foods. Specifically, they are a group of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds that are involved in the composition of DNA - the carrier of hereditary information, and ribonucleic acid (RNA) - copying this information.

When cells die, purines are destroyed and uric acid is formed as a result. Sometimes it happens that this acidity is too high. Acid in the blood and other parts of the body can be elevated for other reasons, the main of which are kidney problems.

High levels of purines in the blood can be due to obesity, gastrointestinal bleeding, surgery, leukemia, lymphoma, psoriasis, hypertension or kidney failure. Therefore, foods rich in purines should be avoided.
