The doctor will prescribe the uric acid test if there are symptoms of high uric acid levels. These symptoms are:

• Reduced range of motion
• Swollen joints, especially around the ankles, knees, and toes
• Reddish skin around these joints
• Joint pain

Cancer treatments like chemotherapy tend to release high levels of purine in the bloodstream, which can increase the uric acid levels. If you are undergoing any cancer treatments, you should frequently do the uric acid test so you can monitor the levels, and take quick action if necessary.

If you have any symptoms of kidney stones, the doctor will prescribe the uric acid test. The symptoms include:

• Frequent urination
• Painful urination
• Bloody urine
• Foul-smelling urine
• Abdominal pain
• Groin pain
• Vomiting

Before the uric acid test, you should avoid drinking alcohol and taking medicines like aspirin or ibuprofen. These factors can cause inaccurate test results. Inform the doctor about the medicines before the test so that they can make the necessary recommendations.

During the Uric Acid Test

Once the test has been booked, an experienced phlebotomist is assigned who will collect the blood sample by arriving at your location at the specified date and time. The test is conducted in a professional and sanitary manner, using sterilised disposable gloves and needles. The process is complete in 5 to 10 minutes, and the blood samples will then be sent to the laboratory for testing.
