Why take the Uric Acid test?
A Uric Acid test is important for diagnosing and managing conditions related to elevated uric acid levels in the body. You may need a Uric Acid test in the following situations: Diagnosing Gout The Uric Acid blood test is done to diagnose gout, usually along with a joint fluid analysis where a fluid sample is extracted from your joints. Gout is a type of painful arthritis that commonly involves the big toe but can affect the other toes, ankle, or knee. Symptoms of gout include: Severe joint pain Swelling in a joint, like the big toe, ankle, or knee Warmth of the affected joints Skin over the joint appears red or purple and shiny Monitoring Cancer Treatments Uric acid levels are regularly monitored in individuals undergoing cancer chemotherapy or other cancer treatments. The rapid destruction of cancer cells during treatment releases large amounts of purines into the blood. The resulting surge in uric acid levels can cause serious complications. Regular testing ensures early detection and management of elevated uric acid levels. Assessing the Risk of Kidney Stones A Uric Acid test is used to determine if high uric acid levels are causing kidney stones.. Symptoms of kidney stones include: Sharp pain in the lower abdomen, back, or groin Painful urination Blood in the urine Urge to urinate often Cloudy or foul-smelling urine Nausea and vomiting Monitoring Health in Other Conditions The Uric Acid test may be ordered along with other tests for the diagnosis and treatment of several conditions associated with high uric acid levels. Apart from gout and kidney disease, testing may be done to monitor uric acid levels in conditions such as leukaemia, multiple myeloma, metastatic cancer, alcohol use disorder, thyroid disorders, and preeclampsia (extremely high blood pressure during pregnancy).
