What is included in the uric acid serum test?

This test is done to measure the uric acid levels in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product which is formed from purines. Purines are metabolic compounds containing nitrogen. They are made inside the cells of your body (endogenous), or come from outside, that is, from foods containing purine (exogenous). Purine breaks down into uric acid. Increased levels of uric acid from excess purines may accumulate in your tissues, and form crystals. This may cause high uric acid levels in the blood. Uric acid formation occurs when the blood uric acid level rises above 7 mg/dL.

What does the Uric Acid Serum Test Measure?

This test is used to detect the uric acid concentration in our bloodstream. Uric acid is a waste byproduct produced by our body while digesting proteins. The kidney generally filters the uric acid out and is passed out of our body via our urine. In case of high levels of uric acid content in the body, the excretion of uric acid might not be adequate, which in turn results in the accumulation of uric acid in the body joints in the form of crystals. This condition is called Gout and is painful with underlying inflammation. Accumulation of uric acid in the body can result in other conditions like kidney stones and kidney failure.

What Preparation is Needed for Uric Acid Serum Test?

Usually, no additional preparations are required before taking this test. You must, however, inform your healthcare provider of any ongoing medications.

What Happens to Your Test sample?

The Uric Acid Serum test sample will be sent to your preferred lab in Chennai that you chose while booking the test.

What Do Abnormal Results Indicate?
