Uric Acid Blood Test
Uric Acid Blood Test
The Uric Acid Blood Test is a targeted diagnostic tool used to measure the level of uric acid in your blood. Uric acid is a waste product created when the body breaks down purines — substances found in certain foods and naturally occurring in your tissues. Under normal circumstances, uric acid dissolves in the blood and is filtered out by the kidneys into the urine. However, when too much is produced or not enough is excreted, it can accumulate in the body.
This test is particularly useful for individuals experiencing joint pain, inflammation, or symptoms associated with gout — a type of inflammatory arthritis. It is also relevant for those with a family history of gout or kidney stones, or anyone undergoing treatment that affects uric acid levels. Clinical studies, including those from institutions such as Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, have emphasised the importance of uric acid monitoring in the diagnosis and management of metabolic and renal health.
What Does It Test For?
This test is designed to evaluate the level of uric acid in your blood, helping to assess your risk of developing gout, kidney stones, or other conditions associated with abnormal purine metabolism. It is also useful for monitoring the effects of treatments such as chemotherapy or medications for gout. Elevated uric acid may indicate a build-up of urate crystals in the joints or kidneys, while lower-than-normal levels can suggest other underlying health issues such as liver or kidney disease.
