About This Test
The Uric Acid Blood Test measures the amount of uric acid present in the blood.
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism, which comes from the breakdown of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) and dietary purines.
It is normally filtered by the kidneys and excreted in urine.
An imbalance in uric acid production or excretion may lead to hyperuricemia (high levels) or hypouricemia (low levels), both of which can have clinical significance.
This test helps evaluate kidney function, metabolic activity, and risk of gout or uric acid stone formation.
