    What Is Uric Acid Test?

    The Uric Acid test measures the concentration of uric acid in your blood, a substance that results from the breakdown of purines found in your cells and some foods and beverages. Normally excreted through urine, uric acid can accumulate in the blood if not properly regulated by the body.

    This test helps assess the body's ability to manage uric acid levels. Excessive uric acid can lead to the formation of crystals in the joints, causing gout, and can also result in kidney stones and kidney failure. Therefore, the Uric Acid test is crucial for diagnosing conditions associated with high uric acid levels and monitoring individuals with gout for potential kidney stone formation.

    Uric Acid Test Parameters

    The Uric Acid test evaluates the concentration of uric acid in the blood.

    Uric acid is a byproduct created when purines—naturally occurring substances released during cell death—are broken down. Purines are also found in protein-rich foods and alcoholic beverages. Normally, the kidneys filter uric acid from the blood and remove it through urine to keep levels within a healthy range. However, when uric acid is overproduced or the kidneys fail to filter it effectively, this can result in high blood levels, known as hyperuricemia.

    This condition can be triggered by consuming large amounts of purine-rich foods, such as red meat, beans, organ meats like liver and kidney, and seafood including sardines, shellfish, anchovies, trout, and tuna. Additionally, alcohol and high-fructose foods, particularly those with corn syrup found in sweet treats and sodas, can raise uric acid levels.

    Uric Acid Test Preparation

    Consider the following aspects before scheduling a Uric Acid test at home:

    Pre-requisites

    There is no need for special preparations, such as fasting, before undergoing the Uric Acid test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    The Uric Acid test does not require fasting, so it can be performed at any time during the day.

    Who Should Get a Uric Acid Test

    This test is ideal for individuals with symptoms of gout, such as pain or swelling in the joints, or for those with signs of kidney stones. People with kidney disorders or those taking medications that influence uric acid levels may also need this test.

    Cautions Before Taking a Uric Acid Test

    Your treating doctor might suggest avoiding specific foods and beverages prior to the test. Make sure to inform your doctor about any medications, including diuretics, aspirin, or niacin, that you are taking. Do not discontinue any medication unless instructed by your doctor.

    Why Take the Uric Acid Test?

    The Uric Acid test plays a vital role in diagnosing and managing disorders linked to elevated uric acid levels in the body. It may be ordered for diagnosing and monitoring the following conditions:

    Gout Diagnosis To diagnose gout, a Uric Acid blood test is often conducted, sometimes in combination with joint fluid analysis. Gout is a type of arthritis known for severe joint pain, swelling, warmth, and discoloured skin over the joint, usually affecting the big toe, ankle, or knee.

    Cancer Treatment Monitoring Cancer therapies, particularly chemotherapy, can lead to a rapid release of purines due to the breakdown of cancer cells, resulting in a spike in uric acid levels. Regular Uric Acid testing during cancer treatment helps to catch these increases early, allowing for timely intervention to avoid serious complications.

    Evaluation of Kidney Stones When high uric acid levels are suspected to be causing kidney stones, a Uric Acid test can confirm the diagnosis. Symptoms of kidney stones include intense pain in the abdomen, back, or groin, painful or frequent urination, haematuria (blood in the urine), and cloudy or foul-smelling urine, often accompanied by nausea.

    Monitoring Other Health Conditions Beyond gout and kidney stones, the Uric Acid test is useful in the diagnosis and management of various other health conditions, including pre-eclampsia, multiple myeloma, metastatic cancers, alcohol-related disorders, leukaemia, and thyroid diseases.

    Uric Acid Test Results and Interpretation

    Below given table shows the standard biological values for the Uric Acid test and the conditions related to both high and low uric acid levels:

    TestBiological Reference (mg/dL)Interpretation
    Uric Acid (Serum)3.5-8.5Kidney disease, pre-eclampsia, high purine foods, alcoholism, and side effects of cancer therapies can lead to high uric acid levels. Low uric acid levels are generally not problematic and are infrequent, occurring in conditions like hereditary metabolic disorders, HIV infection, Fanconi syndrome, SIADH, low purine diets, or from medications such as losartan, atorvastatin, and captopril.

    Highest Rated Diagnostic Lab

    • It was a bit different and nice experience than the other lab people who come to home for collection. The staff was well groomed and dressed. Had a fresh N93 mask and removed shoes outside home. He didn't touch anything after entering and started wearing all his gears which I noticed was unpacked and fresh. Very neatly took swab, disposed the gears separately in his bag and left. Thorough professional. Also, got report within time. Quick and prompt service.
