What is the Uric Acid Test?
The Serum Uric Acid test measures uric acid, a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines found in foods like red meat, organ meat, seafood and alcohol. The kidneys remove most uric acid through urine.
High uric acid (hyperuricaemia) can form crystals in joints, causing gout — sudden, severe joint pain, often in the big toe — and can lead to kidney stones.
What it measures: The amount of uric acid in your blood.
