Uric Acid Test Overview
Uric acid is a natural waste product produced by the body produced by the breakdown of purines, a compound found in food. The majority of uric acid dissolves in the blood and travels to kidneys. It then exits the body via the urine. If the body produces too much uric acid or does not discharge enough into your urine, it can make crystals that form in your joint. This is referred to as gout, a type of arthritis that causes painful inflammation in and around the joints. One may be more susceptible to developing kidney stones if uric acid level is high. Additionally, hyperuricemia can aggravate chronic renal disease if it already exists or raises the chance of its development. High levels of uric acid can potentially lead to additional problems, such as renal failure. It is often assessed in patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. It is also used to determine the source of recurring kidney stones and to diagnose gout.

Frequently Asked Questions
By the breakdown of purines uric acid is produced. Purines are nitrogen-containing compounds found within the cells of the body, including our DNA. The level of uric acid in the blood or urine is measured this test. If an excessive amount of acid is produced or not enough is removed, it can accumulate within the body, causing increased levels within the blood (hyperuricemia). The presence of excess acid can cause gout, a condition characterized by inflammation of the joints because of the formation of acid crystals within the joint (synovial) fluid. Excess acid also gets deposited in tissues like the kidney, resulting in kidney stones or renal failure. As cells get old and die, they break down, releasing purines into the blood. To a lesser extent, purines may come from the digestion of certain foods, like liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans and peas and certain alcoholic drinks, primarily beer. Most acid is removed from the body by the kidneys and is eliminated from the body through urine, with the rest eliminated via stool.
