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.
