Book a Uric Acid - Serum test at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which is both NABL- and NABH-accredited. It is a blood test that determines the amount of uric acid in the blood. It's typically ordered when diagnosing and monitoring gout, high uric acid levels, kidney stones, and some metabolic or kidney diseases.

About Uric Acid

When the body breaks down purines, which are found naturally in the body and in some foods, uric acid is formed, and this is a waste product. The main pathway of excretion is the kidneys via urine. The examination evaluates:

• Serum Uric Acid: Measures uric acid concentration in blood
• Hyperuricemia: Identifies elevated uric acid levels
• Gout: Supports evaluation and monitoring
• Kidney Function: Helps assess conditions associated with abnormal uric acid handling
• Treatment Monitoring: Helps monitor urate-lowering therapy

What is a Uric Acid Test?

A Serum Uric Acid Test is a blood test used to measure the amount of uric acid circulating in the blood. When uric acid levels remain elevated, urate crystals form in joints and tissues, potentially causing gout. However, high uric acid does not necessarily mean that a person has gout, and some people with gout may have a normal uric acid level during an acute attack.

Common Reasons for Uric Acid

• Evaluation of suspected gout
• Monitoring known gout
• Assessment of hyperuricemia
• Evaluation of certain kidney stones
• Monitoring urate-lowering treatment
• Assessment of conditions associated with increased uric acid production or reduced excretion

Conditions Evaluated

Gout

Uric acid testing can support the assessment and long-term monitoring of gout.

Hyperuricemia

Helps identify elevated uric acid levels that may increase the risk of urate crystal formation.

Kidney Stones

Certain kidney stones are associated with uric acid, and testing may form part of the evaluation.

Kidney Disorders

Reduced kidney excretion of uric acid can result in increased blood uric acid levels.

Metabolic Conditions

Elevated uric acid may occur alongside obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and other metabolic conditions.

Who Should Consider This Test?

Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:

• Have joint pain or swelling suggestive of gout
• Have a history of gout
• Have suspected or recurrent kidney stones
• Have elevated uric acid previously
• Are taking urate-lowering medication
• Have a medical condition that may affect uric acid metabolism
