About this test
The waste product that can form the crystals linked to gout and some kidney stones. Often checked for gout questions or to track a known level.
Reading your result
Uric acid rises with red meat, seafood, alcohol (especially beer), sugary drinks, dehydration, weight gain, and diuretics, and with reduced kidney function. It falls with hydration, weight loss, and medicines prescribed for gout.
Levels can be normal during a flare and high without any symptoms, so a single value is read with your history. Because it moves with hydration and the last few meals, a surprising result is usually repeated before anything changes.
