Abstract

The past year generated significant change and advancement of the urate field with novel insights regarding the role of uric acid (UA) in multiple pathophysiologic processes from gout to COVID-19. While these contributions continue to move the field forward, the basic biochemistry and biology of UA is often overlooked, being lost in the shadow of clinical associations and omics. However, the seminal impact of UA begins with biochemistry and the associated interplay with cell biology. In these basic reactions and resultant impacts on physiology, UA mediates its influence on clinical outcomes. As such, this review focuses on published advances in UA biochemistry and biology in 2022 and associates these advances with downstream consequences.
