Who may need it?
A healthcare professional may recommend this test based on your symptoms, medical history, risk factors or need for routine monitoring.
Normal Range and What Elevated Means
Normal uric acid: 3.5–7.2 mg/dL for men; 2.6–6.0 mg/dL for women. Above these thresholds, uric acid crystals can precipitate in joints — most commonly the big toe, ankle, and knee — causing gout attacks: sudden, severe joint pain with redness and swelling. Chronically elevated uric acid also damages kidneys over time and is increasingly recognised as an independent cardiovascular risk factor.Who Should Test
Anyone with joint pain (especially in the lower extremities), individuals with recurrent kidney stones (uric acid kidney stones are common), people who consume alcohol regularly or eat a high-purine diet, and those on diuretics or low-dose aspirin (which raise uric acid). No fasting required. Results in 24 hours.Parameters included
