URIC ACID

What is a Uric Acid Test?

A Uric Acid test is a blood test done to measure the level of uric acid in the body. Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, which are found in many foods. A Uric Acid test in Kekri is commonly advised to check joint health, kidney function, and risk of gout.

High uric acid does not always cause symptoms in the beginning. Many people come to know about it only after a routine blood test. If levels remain high for long time, it can lead to joint pain or kidney related issues.
 

Uric Acid Test Parameters

This test mainly checks one key value, but doctors read it carefully.

• Serum Uric Acid: Shows the amount of uric acid present in the blood. Increased levels can be linked with gout, kidney problems, or high purine diet. Low levels are less common but can also be seen in some conditions.

Since even small variation matters, getting the test done from a reliable lab like Dr. B. Lal Clinical Lab in Kekri helps in accurate reporting and better understanding of results.

8 Symptoms That May Indicate Need for Uric Acid Test

A Uric Acid test is often advised if you notice symptoms like:

• Sudden joint pain, especially in toe or foot
• Swelling or redness in joints
• Stiffness in joints after rest
• Pain that comes and goes suddenly
• Difficulty in walking during flare-ups
• Kidney stone history
• Burning sensation while urinating
• Chronic joint discomfort

In many cases, there are no clear symptoms and uric acid comes out high during routine health checkup.
