👉 Urate, also known as urea, is a chemical compound that is found in the body to be produced by the liver. It is an essential nutrient for the production of red blood cells and is also involved in metabolism, including muscle function and detoxification processes. Urates are primarily utilized by the kidneys during periods of dehydration or when excess water is ingested, as they can help regulate fluid balance and reduce blood volume to conserve energy.
