What is URIC ACID SERUM?

This blood test measures the amount of uric acid in your serum. Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, found in certain foods and naturally in the body.

Why is this test important?

High levels of uric acid can lead to conditions like gout, a painful form of arthritis, and kidney stones. This test helps diagnose and monitor these conditions, as well as assess kidney function.

How to Prepare

You may be asked to fast for several hours before the test. Follow your doctor's specific instructions.
