URIC ACID
What does URIC ACID measure?
This test measures the level of uric acid, a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines. It may be used to help assess elevated or low uric acid levels, support evaluation of gout or certain kidney-related conditions, and monitor people receiving treatments that can affect uric acid. Results are interpreted alongside medical history, symptoms, and other laboratory findings.
