A uric acid blood test determines how much uric acid is present in the blood. Uric acid is a nitrogenous compound formed as a waste product of the metabolic activities of purines. Purines are compounds that cells use to make the building blocks of DNA and RNA. They are generally found in some foods and drinks like seafood, alcohol, sweetened beverages, etc. Uric acid is a waste product from the purines, which is dissolved in the blood and travels to the kidneys and from the kidneys, it is excreted in the urine. Most of the uric acid is filtered and eliminated by the kidneys. With stool, another small amount is eliminated. But if there is a high level of purines, it leads to a high content of uric acid in the blood. It may cause many health problems like gouty arthritis, kidney stones and kidney failure. So to measure the amount of uric acid in the blood, the uric acid test is done by taking blood as a sample. Symptoms like pain, inflammation and kidney stones in the human body recommend a uric acid test. Healthcare professionals recommend a uric acid test for diagnosis and monitoring when a person suffers from gout or kidney stones. A uric acid blood test is also prescribed for a person who has been treated for cancer with chemotherapy or radiation therapy as these treatment methods kill cancer cells, which may increase the formation of uric acid and cause several health disorders. In addition to the uric acid test, several other tests can detect diseases such as gouty arthritis and kidney problems. For this, you may have to undergo a test of your blood and urine to find out what's exactly causing the high levels of uric acid in the blood. Also, to confirm the diagnosis of the disease, other specific tests may be taken. A needle may be used to take a sample of joint fluid which will be sent to the lab to rule out another morbidity. Moreover, if your doctor doubts kidney stones, then you may also have to undergo a urinalysis. During urinalysis, crystals, blood and white blood cells are screened.
