The uric acid test is a simple blood test and it is not required to fast before this test. Some medicines like ibuprofen and aspirin, and alcohol consumption, can alter the test results. It is best to discuss the same with the doctor before doing the uric acid test.

During the Uric Acid Test

Once the uric acid test has been booked with PharmEasy Labs, a phlebotomist will be assigned who will come at the location at the specified date and time. They collect the blood sample using sterilised needles and gloves, from a vein in the forearm. To locate the best vein to draw blood from, they use a vein finder device.
