Uric Acid Test

Importance of the Test

Uric acid is a waste product that mixes with the blood. When the compound called purines are broken by the body resulting in Uric Acid. The vast amount of uric acid gets dissolved in the blood and cleaned by the kidneys, resulting in urine excretion. The uric acid levels get higher when purine-rich foods and beverages increase. Hyperuricemia is a peculiar condition where the body starts retaining too much uric acid. Hyperuricemia can result in the accumulation of acid particles. The particles start staging up in the joints and create gout, a severe form of arthritis. It can also develop into a kidney stone if the uric acid starts settling in the kidneys.
