Considering this sentence under "Gout": "One treatment for gout, in the 19th century, had been administration of lithium salts;[31] lithium urate is more soluble." "More soluble" than....? I think this needs to be re-worded; I was always taught never to use the comparative unless you're actually comparing two or more things.
How about:
" ... because lithium urate is more soluble than naturally occurring uric acid in the body, it was mistakenly believed that it would relieve gout."
Or perhaps we could identify what lithium urate is specifically more soluble than. I would think ammonium urate? (I'm not sure about that, but the chart above does lead to that implication.)
As a reference for this, one could cite the following: https://cen.acs.org/articles/91/i26/Lithium-Treating-Gout.html
Fraenkel, Gideon. Letters, "Lithium For Treating Gout," Chemical & Engineering News. Volume 91, Issue 26, p. 2, July 1, 2013.
(I don't know the correct citation format yet for Wikipedia, so that's probably wrong above, but all the info is there.)
In this letter, Dr. Fraenkel writes: "Needless to say, gout symptoms were not alleviated by lithium salts...."

Presently, in this article's "Chemistry" section, it is stated that: "As far as laboratory synthesis is concerned, in 1882, Ivan Horbaczewski claimed to have prepared uric acid by melting urea hydrogen peroxide with glycine, trichlorolactic acid, and its amide."
I read Horbaczewski's account of his synthesis in this source:
Johann Horbaczewski (1882) "Synthese der Harnsäure" (Synthesis of uric acid), Monatshefte für Chemie und verwandte Teile anderer Wissenschaften … , 3 : 796–797.
On p. 796, Horbaczewski states that he synthesized uric acid by melting, at 200-230°C, "glycocoll" (glycine, obtained from hippuric acid) with synthetic urea (obtained from ammonium cyanate). During the course of the reaction, the initially clear and colorless liquid became a turbid brownish yellow mixture. Upon cooling, the solidified product was dissolved in KOH; the solution was supersaturated with ammonium chloride; and the uric acid precipitated with a mixture of magnesia and silver [chloride] in KOH / NH4OH. The precipitate was washed with dilute KOH / NH4OH, and the silver was removed from the precipitate by adding potassium sulfide, which precipitated silver sulfide. The filtrate was acidified with HCl, and after concentrating it in a water bath, uric acid precipitated. The raw product was twice more dissolved in KOH and isolated from solution as described above. The final result was a yellow crystalline powder.
There's no mention of hydrogen peroxide or trichlorolactic acid or its amide.
It was only in 1887 that Horbaczewski attempted to produce uric acid by melting urea with the amide of trichlorolactic acid:
Johann Horbaczewski (1887) "Über eine neue Synthese und die Constitution der Harnsäure" (On a new synthesis and the constitution of uric acid), Monatshefte für Chemie und verwandte Teile anderer Wissenschaften … , 8 : 201–207.
The German chemist Emil Fischer, who investigated uric acid in detail, credited Horbaczewski with the first synthesis of uric acid:
Emil Fischer (1899) "Synthesen in der Puringruppe" (Syntheses in the purine group), Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft, 32 : 435–504, see especially p. 440.
From p. 440: "Im Jahre 1882 gelang dann Horbaczewski die erste Synthese der Harnsäure durch Schmelzen von Glycocoll und Harnstoff … " (In the year 1882 Horbaczewski then succeeded in the first synthesis of uric acid by melting glycine with urea … )
So in Fischer's opinion, Horbaczewski, not Eduard Hoffmann, was the first to synthesize uric acid. Indeed, Fischer doesn't even mention Hoffmann.

Other than having high blood uric acid levels as a symptom, it's questionable whether this has sufficient content and source evidence to include it among "clinical significance". Further, the sources are mainly WP:PRIMARY, i.e., a case report topic. Please review WP:MEDASSESS for background. -- Zefr ( talk) 21:56, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

The solubility of uric acid is wrong. I changed the solubility of uric acid from 0.6 mg/100 mL to 6 mg/100 mL. Source of solubility: [1]

I have changed the 'other names' section. Previously this stated that 'other names' included 1H-Purine-2,6,8-triol. I have changed this to 1H-Purine-2,6,8-trione, that is I have replaced triol with trione. I think that 'triol' was an error as there are no hydroxy groups. I'm confident that I have corrected this properly but someone else might check.

According to the "Theoretical Study of Uric Acid and its Ions in Aqueous Solution" article (DOI: 10.4172/2376-130X.1000104), the anion that is shown on this page is not correct, the negative charge is on either of the 2 other oxygen. Sciencationelle ( talk) 15:20, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Is anyone else annoyed about the “grams of water to dissolve a gram of compound” solubility unit of measure? I’d like to update this but I was just curious if there was a good reason to keep it this one? Mg per mL or Mg per L would be much more standard in my mind.

Myogenic hyperuricemia as a result of a low ATP reservoir within the muscle cell causing the use of the adenylate kinase (myokinase) reaction and subsequent use of the Purine Nucleotide Cycle which causes a buildup of AMP. The AMP is eventually converted into uric acid. Why remove the entry, the conditions that cause a low ATP reservoir within the muscle cell, and their citations?

Dear Zefr,
Why did you delete my image. I work in a hospital laboratory and the image at the top of the page shows uric acid needles in synovial fluid in someone with gout. The image I posted of uric acid crystals in urine have a completely different shape and are the cause of kidney stones. Bert Grijsen Laboratorium en Hobby ( talk) 08:47, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
