About test
What does Uric Acid - (24 hrs Urine) measure?
This test measures the amount of uric acid excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Uric acid is produced when the body breaks down purines, which are found naturally in the body and in some foods. The test may help assess uric acid metabolism and kidney handling of uric acid, including evaluation of certain kidney stones or gout-related concerns. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings.
