Understanding Uric Acid, Random Urine


What is Uric Acid, Random Urine?

This test measures the amount of uric acid in your blood. Uric acid is a normal waste product in your blood. This test is done to diagnose gout, to check the efficacy of medication that lowers uric acid, and symptoms like pain and swelling in the joints, joints that feel warm when touched, and shiny skin around joints. High level of uric acid can increase the risk of the development of chronic kidney disease. This leads to crystal formation in joints. Some people with high uric acid levels don't have gout or other kidney disorders and don’t need treatment. Diet, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle changes can improve high uric acid levels. However, medical treatment is also required.

What is Uric Acid, Random Urine used for?

  1. If you have joint pain especially in the toes or other symptoms suggesting gout 
  2. If you have recurrent kidney stones to assess the cause  
  3. If you have had or are going to have certain chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer
