What is Uric Acid?
Uric acid is a waste product found in the blood. It is formed when the body breaks down chemicals called purines. These are present in your own cells and in certain foods.
Why should you have Uric Acid tested?
Measuring the uric acid level in the blood can be helpful in detecting or monitoring various health conditions. It is particularly useful for individuals at risk of gout, kidney stones, or certain kidney diseases. It can also be important for evaluating your diet and lifestyle.
What does it indicate?
A uric acid test can help in diagnosing gout, a form of arthritis that causes intense pain and swelling. It can also point to kidney function and whether your body has difficulty processing purines.
What does a high uric acid level mean?
A high level of uric acid in the blood can indicate gout, kidney disease, and other conditions. It may also be a sign of a diet high in purine-rich foods or alcohol consumption.
What does a low uric acid level mean?
A low level may be less common, but it can suggest an underlying health condition, such as liver disease, or be an effect of certain medications.
