Clement’s value translates into 0.298 in your terms.
The normal range is not the safe range. Lots of men have too much uric acid so if you do have gout, normal isn’t quite good enough.
People who have untreated gout have lots of crystals in their system. Yet on any random day, they are typically not in agony but feel just fine. Crystals can be isolated from the immune system. And sometimes, the immune system simply doesn’t bother making a big deal out of crystals it’s in contact with.
