FEATURED BOOKS ON THE URINARY BLADDER FROM BARNES & NOBLE.COM?
Uricosuric
Tending to increase the amount of uric acid that is discharged from the urine (pee) as waste. Uric acid is a waste product that is produced from the breakdown of nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are substances found in all living things that play a major role in the continuation of life. The nucleic acids that breakdown to form uric acid come from food sources (after digestion) and body cells. A cell is the smallest, most basic unit of life, that is capable of existing by itself. Uricosuric comes from the Greek word "ouron" meaning "urine," and the Greek word "ikos" meaning "pertaining to." Put the words together and you have "pertaining to urine."
