About this test
Uric acid is a waste product that crystallises in joints when levels stay high, causing the sudden severe pain of gout — classically in the big toe. It also contributes to one common type of kidney stone. Levels rise with red meat, seafood, alcohol and reduced kidney function.
What it measures
