Uric Acid Test

The Uric Acid Test measures the level of uric acid in the blood to evaluate kidney function and assess disorders related to uric acid metabolism. Elevated levels may be associated with gout, kidney stones, impaired kidney function, or metabolic conditions, while low levels can be seen in certain liver or renal disorders. This test is commonly used to evaluate joint pain or swelling, investigate abnormalities in uric acid handling, and monitor treatment for gout or other related conditions.
