- saturation-6-8
- Assertion
- Because extracellular fluid is rich in sodium, urate is present mostly as monosodium urate, which begins to crystallize at a serum urate of about 6.8 mg/dL.
- Quote
Because of the high concentration of sodium in the extracellular compartment, urate is largely present as MSU, and a serum urate level of approximately 6.8 mg/dL is the concentration at which MSU crystals begin to precipitate
