Uric Acid Test
Check Your Uric Acid Levels: Uric Acid Test
Uric acid is a natural waste product formed when your body breaks down purines, substances found in certain foods and cells. Normally, uric acid is dissolved in the blood and excreted through the kidneys. However, elevated levels can lead to painful conditions like gout or kidney stones, while low levels may indicate other underlying health issues. Regularly monitoring uric acid levels is essential for identifying imbalances early and preventing complications.
The Uric Acid Test measures the concentration of uric acid in your blood. This test provides valuable insights into your metabolic health, helping to detect and manage conditions related to uric acid buildup or depletion.
