Test Code

The Uric Acid test measures the concentration of uric acid, a waste product formed from the breakdown of purines found in certain foods and body tissues. Uric acid is normally filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine.

Elevated uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) can lead to gout, kidney stones, and kidney dysfunction. Low uric acid levels may be associated with liver disease, certain genetic conditions, or excessive uric acid excretion. This test is commonly ordered to evaluate joint pain, monitor gout treatment, and assess kidney and metabolic disorders.
