    What Is Uric Acid Test?

    The Uric Acid test evaluates the amount of uric acid in your blood. Uric acid is produced by the body as a byproduct which is formed when the body breaks down purines, which are naturally present in your cells and some foods and drinks. Normally, uric acid is eliminated through urine, but it can build up in the bloodstream under certain circumstances.

    This test helps determine how effectively your body manages uric acid levels. High levels of uric acid can cause needle-like crystals to accumulate in the joints, leading to painful inflammation known as gout, and can also contribute to kidney stones and even kidney failure. The Uric Acid test is therefore valuable in diagnosing conditions related to elevated uric acid levels and in monitoring the risk of kidney stones in patients with gout.

    Uric Acid Test Parameters

    The Uric Acid test specifically measures the serum uric acid level in the blood.

    Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, which are released when cells die. Purines are also present in foods high in protein and alcoholic drinks. The healthy kidneys filter uric acid from the bloodstream and remove it through urine, maintaining a normal balance. However, if the body produces excess uric acid or if the kidneys are not functioning properly, uric acid can build up in the blood, a condition known as hyperuricemia.

    High uric acid levels can result from eating excessive purine-rich foods, including red meat, organ meats like kidney liver, and beans, and seafood like shellfish, anchovies, sardines, trout, and tuna. Alcohol consumption and foods high in fructose, such as those containing corn syrup found in sweets and sodas, can also elevate uric acid levels.

    Uric Acid Test Preparation

    To prepare for the Uric Acid test at home, check these prerequisites:

    Pre-requisites

    No specific preparations, such as fasting, are needed for the Uric Acid test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    The Uric Acid test can be done at any time of the day since fasting isn’t required.

    Who Should Get a Uric Acid Test

    This test is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms of gout, like swelling and pain in shorts, or for those showing signs of kidney stones. It is also beneficial for people with kidney disease or those on medications that can alter uric acid levels.

    Cautions Before Taking a Uric Acid Test

    Your doctor may advise you to avoid certain foods and drinks before the test. It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications you’re taking, such as diuretics, niacin, or aspirin. However, do not stop taking any medication unless your doctor specifically advises you to do so.

    Why Take the Uric Acid Test?

    A Uric Acid test is crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions related to high uric acid levels in the body. This test is often recommended in the following scenarios:

    Diagnosing Gout Gout, a painful type of arthritis that typically affects the big toe but can also impact other toes, the ankle, or the knee, is diagnosed using a Uric Acid blood test, often paired with joint fluid analysis. Symptoms of gout include severe joint pain, swelling in affected areas, warmth, and red or purplish, shiny skin over the joint.

    Assessing Kidney Stone Risk High uric acid levels can contribute to kidney stones, which are identified using a Uric Acid test. Symptoms of kidney stones include sharp pain in the lower abdomen, back, or groin, painful urination, blood in the urine, frequent urges to urinate, and cloudy or foul-smelling urine, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

    Monitoring Other Conditions In addition to gout and kidney stones, Uric Acid tests are used to monitor various other conditions characterized by elevated uric acid levels, such as leukaemia, multiple myeloma, metastatic cancers, thyroid issues, alcohol use disorder, and preeclampsia.

    Monitoring Cancer Treatments Cancer treatments, especially chemotherapy, can rapidly destroy cancer cells, leading to an increase in purines in the blood, which in turn elevates uric acid levels. Regular Uric Acid testing in cancer patients helps detect and manage these elevated levels early, preventing complications.

    Uric Acid Test Results and Interpretation

    The table below lists the normal reference ranges for the Uric Acid test, along with conditions linked to elevated and reduced uric acid levels:

    TestBiological Reference (mg/dL)Interpretation
    Uric Acid (Serum)3.5-8.5Elevated uric acid levels are commonly associated with purine-rich diets, kidney disease, alcoholism, cancer treatment side effects, and pre-eclampsia. Decreased uric acid levels are rare and usually not concerning. They might be observed in SIADH, Fanconi syndrome, HIV, hereditary metabolic disorders, low purine intake, or due to drugs like losartan, captopril, and atorvastatin.
