The Uric Acid test measures the level of uric acid in your blood, a waste product formed from the breakdown of purines. Elevated uric acid levels can lead to gout, kidney stones, and other health issues. Understanding your uric acid levels is important for managing your overall health, particularly if you have a history of gout or kidney problems. This test helps you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about dietary and lifestyle choices to maintain optimal health.

Reasons to Check It:

"Some individuals who possess elevated uric acid levels are at an increased risk of developing gout (a form of arthritis that occurs when too much uric acid builds up in the joint spaces).  Gout can cause swollen, red, hot and stiff joints.  Commonly, gout first becomes evident in the proximal joint of the big toe; however, it can also attack ankles, heels, knees, wrists, fingers, and elbows.   People who take medications to control their uric acid level should have levels within the reference range.  Elevated uric acid levels should be discussed with a physician." - Dr. Alan Hopkins
