    What Is Uric Acid Test?

    The Uric Acid test determines the amount of uric acid present in your blood, which is a waste product created when your body processes purines, substances found in your cells, and in some foods and drinks. Normally, uric acid is removed from the body through urine, but it can build up in the blood under certain conditions.

    This test helps evaluate how effectively your body regulates uric acid levels. When uric acid is too high, it can form crystals in the joints, leading to gout, and can also cause kidney stones and potentially kidney failure. The Uric Acid test is valuable in diagnosing conditions linked to high uric acid levels and in monitoring individuals with gout for the risk of kidney stones.

    Uric Acid Test Parameters

    The Uric Acid test measures the level of uric acid in your blood. Uric acid is a waste product generated when purines break down in the body—a process that occurs when cells die. Purines are also found in certain protein-rich foods and alcoholic drinks. Normally, uric acid is filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine, keeping levels balanced. However, if uric acid production is excessive or if kidney function is impaired, it can accumulate in the blood, causing hyperuricemia.

    This elevation in uric acid can be linked to a high intake of purine-rich foods, such as red meat, beans, organ meats like liver and kidney, and certain types of seafood, including shellfish, anchovies, trout, sardines, and tuna. Additionally, alcohol and foods high in fructose, particularly those with corn syrup found in sweets and sodas, can contribute to increased uric acid levels.

    Uric Acid Test Preparation

    Before undergoing a Uric Acid test at home, consider the following:

    Pre-requisites

    There are no special requirements, such as fasting, prior to the Uric Acid test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    Since fasting is not required, the Uric Acid test can be scheduled at any time of the day.

    Who Should Get a Uric Acid Test

    Those who have symptoms of gout, such as joint pain or swelling, or symptoms of kidney stones, should consider taking this test. It is also advisable for individuals with kidney conditions or those on medications that impact uric acid levels.

    Cautions Before Taking a Uric Acid Test

    You may be instructed by your doctor to avoid specific foods and beverages before the test. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications, such as aspirin, niacin, or diuretics, but do not discontinue them unless your doctor instructs you to do so.

    Why Take the Uric Acid Test?

    A Uric Acid test is a critical tool for diagnosing and managing conditions related to high uric acid levels. This test may be recommended in the following instances:

    Gout Diagnosis

    To diagnose gout, a Uric Acid test is often combined with joint fluid analysis. Gout, a type of arthritis that typically affects the big toe but can also involve other joints, presents with severe joint pain, swelling, warmth, and a red or purplish, shiny appearance over the affected area.

    Detecting the Risk of Kidney Stones

    High uric acid levels can lead to the formation of kidney stones, and a Uric Acid test helps assess this risk. Symptoms include sharp pain in the lower abdomen, back, or groin, painful urination, blood in the urine, frequent urination, and cloudy or foul-smelling urine, along with nausea and vomiting.

    Monitoring Overall Health in Certain Diseases

    In addition to gout and kidney stones, the Uric Acid test is useful in managing other conditions characterized by high uric acid levels, such as leukaemia, multiple myeloma, metastatic cancer, alcohol use disorder, thyroid conditions, and preeclampsia, helping to guide treatment and monitoring.

    Monitoring During Cancer Treatment

    During chemotherapy and other cancer treatments, the rapid destruction of cancer cells releases large amounts of purines, leading to elevated uric acid levels. Regular Uric Acid testing helps monitor these levels, allowing for timely intervention to prevent complications.

    Uric Acid Test Results and Interpretation

    The following table depicts the normal Uric Acid test values, along with the conditions that can cause elevated or diminished uric acid levels:

    TestBiological Reference (mg/dL)Interpretation
    Uric Acid (Serum)3.5-8.5High uric acid levels can occur due to purine-rich foods, kidney disease, alcoholism, pre-eclampsia, or as a side effect of cancer treatments. Low uric acid levels are uncommon and typically not harmful. They may be seen in hereditary metabolic disorders, Fanconi syndrome, HIV infection, low purine diets, SIADH, or with medications like captopril, atorvastatin, or losartan.
