About test
What does Uric Acid - Serum measure?
This test measures the level of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is produced when the body breaks down substances called purines and is usually removed through the kidneys. The test may be used to help evaluate gout, monitor uric acid levels during certain treatments, or assess conditions that may affect uric acid production or removal. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other tests.
