Uric Acid Test In Rajkot - Price & Details

Uric acid is a normal waste product that your body makes when it breaks down chemicals called purines.  Most of this acid is meant to dissolve in your blood. Your kidneys help filter the uric acid out of your blood. The issue occurs when uric acid starts building up in your blood.

If uric acid begins piling up in your blood, it can lead to a condition known as gouts. In this condition, you will begin to feel needle-shaped crystals forming in and around your joints. This concern can lead to painful swelling in your joints.

Once you conduct the test with the help of PharmEasy, you will see how much uric acid is in your blood. The uric acid is measured in milligrams (mg) and the blood in deciliters (dL), so you’ll see a number with units of mg/dL. You will consider uric acid high if:

• For females, it’s over 6 mg/dL
• For males, it’s over 7 mg/dL

It can lead to several concerns like gout, kidney disease, and cancer. Based on your symptoms, you can go for any of the following tests:

• Tests for gout
• Urinalysis, also known as urine test

If your body is showing certain kinds of symptoms, it will become necessary to go for the urine acid test. The major symptoms are:

• Intense pain
• Swelling
• Redness
• Feeling warm
• Had certain kinds of cancer treatments

Apart from this, you might be suffering from some minor symptoms as well, such as:

• Pain in your lower abdomen or back
• Urging to pee time and again
• Pain when urinating
• Cloudy or bad-smelling urine
• Nausea and vomiting
• Fever and chills

If you're having any of these symptoms, you should open the website of PharmEasy right away and book the test.

No fasting is required for the test. Many medicines, including aspirin, can affect your uric acid levels. Taking niacin (vitamin B-3) can also affect your results. So make sure you reach out to a doctor beforehand and see if you need to ignore certain medications before the test.

During the Uric Acid Test

For a kidney blood test, an experienced phlebotomist will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle. The vein will be located using a vein finder. The whole procedure is conducted hygienically as a sterilized needle and collection tubes are used for the highest standards of safety.
