    What Is Uric Acid Test?

    A Uric Acid test is used to measure the level of uric acid in your blood. This substance is produced when your body breaks down purines, which are found in cells and certain foods and drinks. Under normal circumstances, uric acid is eliminated through urine, but it may accumulate in the blood if the body does not regulate it effectively.

    The Uric Acid test helps to evaluate how well your body controls uric acid levels. High uric acid levels can lead to gout, characterised by painful crystal deposits in the joints, and can also contribute to kidney stones and kidney failure. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions related to high uric acid and monitoring the risk of kidney stones in patients with gout.

    Uric Acid Test Parameters

    The Uric Acid test measures only a single parameter: serum uric acid in the blood.

    Uric acid is a normal byproduct of the breakdown of purines, substances released when cells die and also present in protein-heavy foods and alcoholic drinks. In healthy people, the kidneys filter uric acid from the blood, excreting it through urine to keep levels normal. However, if uric acid is produced in excess or the kidneys do not filter it efficiently, this leads to increased levels in the blood, a condition known as hyperuricemia.

    Elevated uric acid levels can be caused by a diet high in purine-rich foods, including red meat, beans, organ meats like liver and kidney, and seafood such as shellfish, sardines, anchovies, trout, and tuna. Alcohol and high fructose, particularly in products like corn syrup found in sweets and sodas, can also contribute to raised uric acid levels.

    Uric Acid Test Preparation

    Here is what you should know before undergoing the Uric Acid test at home:

    Pre-requisites

    The Uric Acid test does not require any special preparation, such as fasting.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    This test can be taken at any time since fasting is not a prerequisite.

    Who Should Get a Uric Acid Test

    Individuals who experience symptoms associated with gout, like joint pain or swelling, or those showing symptoms of kidney stones, should consider this test. It’s also useful for people with kidney disease or those on medications that affect uric acid levels.

    Cautions Before Taking a Uric Acid Test

    You may be advised by your doctor to avoid specific foods and drinks before taking the test. Make sure to inform them about any medications, such as diuretics, aspirin, or niacin, but do not stop taking them unless directed by your doctor.

    Why Take the Uric Acid Test?

    A Uric Acid test is considered for diagnosis and monitoring of various diseases associated with elevated uric acid levels. You might need this test in the following scenarios:

    Cancer Treatment Monitoring Patients undergoing chemotherapy or other cancer treatments may have their uric acid levels monitored regularly, as the rapid breakdown of cancer cells releases purines, leading to elevated uric acid levels. Early detection through regular testing helps manage these levels and prevent complications.

    Evaluating Kidney Stones High uric acid levels can lead to the formation of kidney stones. A Uric Acid test can help assess this risk. Symptoms of kidney stones include sharp pains in the lower abdomen, back, or groin, painful or frequent urination, and cloudy or foul-smelling urine, blood in urine, with accompanying nausea and vomiting.

    Gout Diagnosis To confirm a diagnosis of gout, a Uric Acid test is often used alongside a joint fluid analysis. Gout, a form of arthritis, commonly affects the big toe but can also involve other joints like the ankle and knee. Symptoms include swelling, severe joint pain warmth, and skin discolouration over the affected joints.

    Monitoring of Various Conditions The Uric Acid test is also valuable in monitoring uric acid levels in conditions beyond gout and kidney stones. These include leukaemia, metastatic cancers, multiple myeloma, alcohol use disorder, thyroid issues, and preeclampsia, ensuring that these conditions are managed effectively.

    Uric Acid Test Results and Interpretation

    Refer to the table below for the normal Uric Acid test values and the conditions associated with increased or decreased uric acid levels:

    TestBiological Reference (mg/dL)Interpretation
    Uric Acid (Serum)3.5-8.5High uric acid levels are observed in conditions like pre-eclampsia, kidney disease, high consumption of purine-rich foods, cancer treatment side effects, and alcoholism. Low uric acid levels are uncommon and typically benign, occurring in cases of SIADH, HIV infection, Fanconi syndrome, hereditary metabolic disorders, low purine diets, or from medications such as atorvastatin, losartan, and captopril.
