    What Is Uric Acid Test?

    The Uric Acid test checks the level of uric acid in your blood, which is a byproduct of the breakdown of purines found in your body's cells and certain foods and beverages. Uric acid is typically expelled from the body via urine, but under certain conditions, it can accumulate in the bloodstream. The test is important for assessing your body’s ability to manage uric acid levels.

    Elevated levels of uric acid can lead to the formation of sharp crystals in the joints, causing a painful condition called gout, and can also increase the risk of kidney stones and kidney failure. Thus, the Uric Acid test is essential in diagnosing disorders associated with high uric acid levels and tracking the potential risk of kidney stones in those with gout.

    Uric Acid Test Parameters

    The Uric Acid test is used to measure only one parameter: serum uric acid levels in the blood.

    Uric acid is produced when the body breaks down purines, which are released when cells die and are also found in certain foods and beverages high in protein and alcohol. Normally, the kidneys remove uric acid from the blood and excrete it in urine, maintaining balanced levels. However, if there is an overproduction of uric acid or if kidney function is impaired, uric acid levels can rise, resulting in hyperuricemia.

    It can also occur due to a diet rich in purine-containing foods like red meat, beans, organ meats (liver and kidney), and certain seafood (shellfish, sardines, anchovies, trout, and tuna). Alcohol consumption and foods high in fructose, such as those containing corn syrup, often found in sweets and sodas, can also increase uric acid levels.

    Uric Acid Test Preparation

    Follow these steps for preparing for a Uric Acid test at home:

    Pre-requisites

    No special preparations, such as fasting, are needed before a Uric Acid test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    As fasting is not necessary, the Uric Acid test can be performed at any time of the day.

    Who Should Get a Uric Acid Test

    Individuals with kidney disease or those on medications that could affect uric acid levels can undergo the Uric Acid test. The test is also useful for diagnosing gout for those experiencing symptoms like joint pain or swelling, or symptoms indicative of kidney stones.

    Cautions Before Taking a Uric Acid Test

    Your doctor might suggest avoiding certain foods and beverages before the test. Be sure to inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, such as diuretics, aspirin, or niacin. Only stop taking them if your doctor recommends it.

    Why Take the Uric Acid Test?

    The Uric Acid test is an important diagnostic tool for conditions linked to high uric acid levels in the body. You may need this test under the following circumstances:

    Determining the risk of kidney stones

    A Uric Acid test helps determine whether elevated uric acid levels are contributing to kidney stones. Symptoms of kidney stones include sharp pain in the groin region, back, or stomach, painful urination, the presence of blood in the urine, frequent urges to urinate, and cloudy or foul-smelling urine.

    Diagnosing Gout

    Gout is a type of arthritis that causes painful inflammation, usually in the big toe, but it can also affect other joints like the ankle and knee. A Uric Acid blood test, often performed alongside joint fluid analysis, helps diagnose gout. Common symptoms include severe joint pain, swelling, warmth, and discolored skin over the affected joint.

    Monitoring During Cancer Treatments

    Patients undergoing cancer treatments, particularly chemotherapy, may have high uric acid levels due to the rapid breakdown of cancer cells, which release purines into the blood. Regular testing allows for early intervention to manage these elevated levels, thus preventing serious complications.

    Monitoring Health in Other Conditions

    This test is also utilized to track uric acid levels in conditions other than gout and kidney stones. These include alcohol-related disorders, metastatic cancers, leukaemia, multiple myeloma, thyroid illnesses, and preeclampsia, all of which can be associated with elevated uric acid levels.

    Uric Acid Test Results and Interpretation

    The table below outlines the normal ranges for the Uric Acid test and highlights the conditions that are related to both high and low uric acid levels:

    TestBiological Reference (mg/dL)Interpretation
    Uric Acid (Serum)3.5-8.5Uric acid levels can be high due to pre-eclampsia, kidney disease, high intake of purine-rich foods, alcoholism, or cancer treatment side effects. Low uric acid levels are rare and usually pose no health risks. It may occur rarely in cases of Fanconi syndrome, HIV, hereditary metabolic disorders, low purine diets, SIADH, or from using medications like captopril, losartan, or atorvastatin
