The Uric Acid, Serum test measures the level of uric acid in the blood, a waste product formed during the breakdown of purines, which are naturally present in the body and in certain foods. Normally, uric acid is filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine. Elevated uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) may occur due to gout, inherited disorders of purine metabolism, excessive intake of purine-rich foods, reduced kidney function, or increased cell turnover. However, it is important to note that only a small proportion of people with hyperuricemia develop gout.

The Uric Acid, Serum test is recommended for individuals with joint pain, swelling, recurrent gout attacks, kidney stones, or suspected metabolic or kidney disorders. It is also used to monitor patients undergoing treatment for gout, chemotherapy, or conditions associated with increased cell breakdown. At Nidan Pathology Lab, we provide NABL-accredited testing, FREE home sample collection, advanced laboratory technology, and accurate, timely reports to support the diagnosis and management of gout and other uric acid-related disorders.
