Test Details

The Uric Acid, Serum test is a blood test that measures the level of uric acid in the bloodstream. Uric acid is a waste product produced when the body breaks down purines, which are naturally occurring substances found in foods and cells. Elevated uric acid levels can be associated with conditions like gout and kidney disease

Blood Sample Collection: A healthcare provider will collect a blood sample from a vein in your arm using a needle and syringe.

Laboratory Analysis: The blood sample is sent to a laboratory, where it undergoes analysis to measure the concentration of uric acid.

Typically, no specific preparation is required for the Uric Acid, Serum test. However, inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking, as certain drugs can affect uric acid levels.

The blood draw may cause a brief pinch or discomfort when the needle is inserted into your arm. Afterward, there may be some temporary bruising or soreness at the blood collection site.

Normal results for the Uric Acid, Serum test indicate that the uric acid level in your bloodstream falls within the expected range for your age and sex.

Abnormal results may suggest various conditions:

High Uric Acid (Hyperuricemia): Elevated uric acid levels can be associated with gout, kidney disease, certain medications, and dietary factors.

Low Uric Acid (Hypouricemia): Unusually low uric acid levels are less common and can be caused by certain medical conditions or medications

The Uric Acid, Serum test is a safe procedure with minimal risks. Risks may include:

Mild bruising or soreness at the blood collection site.

Rarely, infection or bleeding at the puncture site.

Fainting or lightheadedness during or after the blood draw.
