This test measures the amount of uric acid in your blood. Uric acid is a nitrogenous compound that is formed as a byproduct of metabolic activities and is eliminated by the kidneys. This test is done to diagnose gout and to check the efficacy of medication that lowers uric acid. Your doctor may advise this test if you have symptoms like pain and swelling in the joints, joints that feel warm when touched, and shiny skin around joints. A high uric acid concentration in blood, also known as hyperuricemia, can lead to crystal formation in joints and also a risk factor of chronic kidney disease. Diet, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle changes can improve your uric acid level. However, medical treatment is also required in most cases.
Hyperuricemia can sometimes lead to the formation of uric acid crystals, which can deposit in joints and tissues, causing inflammation and pain. This condition is known as gout and is characterized by recurrent episodes of joint swelling, redness, and intense pain.
Uric acid levels can be measured through a blood test, known as a serum uric acid test. This test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions related to high uric acid levels, such as gout, kidney disease, or certain types of cancer.
Treatment options for high uric acid levels or gout may include lifestyle changes, such as dietary modifications to reduce purine-rich foods and increase fluid intake, as well as medications to lower uric acid levels or manage gout symptoms.
In addition to gout, high uric acid levels have also been associated with other health conditions, including kidney stones and certain cardiovascular diseases.
If you have concerns about uric acid levels or symptoms related to gout, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional, typically a primary care physician or a rheumatologist. They will evaluate your medical history, perform necessary tests, and provide a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
