Uric Acid Test In Varanasi - Price & Details

Our body produces uric acid, a chemical compound, by breaking down foods containing organic compounds known as purines. These organic compounds are also produced by the natural process of cell breakdown. Most of the uric acid dissolved in our blood gets filtered by our kidneys and is excreted in the form of urine. But, sometimes, our body produces too much uric acid or cannot filter enough of it. If your body has too much uric acid, you might be suffering from a condition known as hyperuricemia. High uric acid levels are also telltale signs of gout, a form of arthritis that causes joints to swell.

If you are diagnosed with cancer or are undergoing cancer treatments, your body might be experiencing increased cell death. This can also lead to an accumulation of uric acid in the body and lead to higher levels. However, it is also possible to have too little uric acid in one’s body, which is a common symptom of liver or kidney disease. So, your doctor might order a uric acid test to diagnose and eliminate a wide range of health conditions.

You do not need any special preparation and are not required to fast for your uric acid test.
