The uric acid is a waste product of the body. Uric acid is formed during the breakdown of purines, a chemical, and enters the bloodstream. The kidneys filter the uric acid from the blood and remove it from the body through urine.

If the body produces too much uric acid or cannot get rid of it properly, in both cases the level of uric acid increases. High uric acid level causes gout, a type of arthritis when too much uric acid crystallises and deposits in the joints. High levels of uric acid also cause kidney stones (small, hard deposits formed in the kidneys), and kidney disease that may lead to renal failure. High uric acid and many conditions are associated with each other, such as:

• Kidney disease
• Metastatic cancer
• Multiple myeloma
• Leukaemia
• Alcohol consumption
• Preeclampsia
• Obesity
• Inherited genetic condition

Having high uric acid levels does not always mean that it will cause any health problems. If you are concerned about your uric acid levels, consult your doctor.

Doctors prescribe a uric acid test if your knees, ankles, and toes are affected with swelling, redness, feeling warm, and intense pain.

A uric acid test may be recommended if these symptoms are present:

• Frequent urge to urinate
• Pain while urinating
• Abdominal pain
• Blood and bad smell in urine
• Fever and nausea

Doctors also need a uric acid test to monitor how well the kidney stones treatment is working.

The uric acid test doesn't require fasting or any other preparations. Be sure to tell your doctor about any medications you are taking as some medications can alter uric acid levels.

During the Uric Acid Test

This test involves drawing a small volume of your blood from the vein in your arm and analysing the sample. The phlebotomist from PharmEasy Labs will come to your place for the sample collection and will use a vein finder, clean new needle and syringe and transfer the sample to the lab in an ice box.
