What is Uric Acid?

Uric acid is a waste product produced when the body breaks down purines, substances found naturally in your cells and in certain foods. Normally, uric acid is dissolved in the blood and eliminated through the kidneys.

However, if uric acid builds up in the bloodstream, it can form crystals that deposit in joints and tissues, leading to painful conditions such as gout.

Why Have a Uric Acid Test?

A Uric Acid Blood Test measures the amount of uric acid in your blood. This test helps to:

  • Diagnose or monitor gout
  • Assess kidney function and uric acid clearance
  • Monitor individuals prone to kidney stones
  • Evaluate response to gout treatments
  • Detect high uric acid levels (hyperuricaemia) even before symptoms develop

Who Should Consider This Test?

  • Individuals with joint pain, swelling, or redness (suspected gout)
  • People with a history of gout or kidney stones
  • Patients on medications affecting uric acid levels
  • Those with a family history of gout or metabolic disorders
  • Anyone wanting to check uric acid as part of a general health check
