Book Uric Acid Online @ 190 Only

A uric acid blood test, also known as a serum uric acid measurement, determines the amount of uric acid in your blood. The test can help determine how well your body creates and eliminates uric acid. Uric acid is a molecule that your body produces when it breaks down foods that contain organic components known as purines. Purine-rich foods and beverages include liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans, lager, and wine. Purines are also produced naturally in the body during the process of cell disintegration. The majority of uric acid is dissolved in the blood, filtered by the kidneys, and excreted in the urine. The body sometimes creates too much uric acid or does not filter out enough of it.

The majority of uric acid dissolves in your blood. Uric acid is removed from your blood by your kidneys and excreted in your urine. Uric acid can create needle-shaped crystals in and around your joints if it accumulates in your blood.
