About the Uric Acid Test - Uric Acid Level Tests
A uric acid test measures the level of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, and it is normally filtered by the kidneys. The test is often used to help evaluate gout, a form of arthritis, and can also be useful in assessing kidney function and certain metabolic conditions. It uses a blood sample. A healthcare provider interprets the level with your symptoms, medications, diet, and other tests to determine what it may indicate.

Understanding your results
The uric acid result is a numeric level compared with a reference range. A higher level may be associated with gout or with reduced kidney clearance, while a lower level may occur with certain medications or other conditions. An elevated uric acid level does not by itself confirm gout, and a normal level does not rule it out. A healthcare provider interprets the result with your symptoms and history. Discuss your uric acid result with a healthcare provider before making any decisions.
