Uric Acid Blood Test

Uric Acid Blood Test for Gout and Kidney Health

The Uric Acid Blood Test helps diagnose elevated uric acid levels, a key marker for gout and kidney function. Uric acid is produced when your body breaks down purines from food, and if it builds up too much, it can form crystals in your joints, leading to painful conditions like gout. This test is an essential tool for monitoring kidney health and evaluating the risk of uric acid-related conditions.
