24 Hours Urine Uric Acid
Overview
Uric acid (Uricic acid) is a waste product produced by the body when it breaks down purines (found in certain foods). Uric acid levels are important for the health of your kidneys and the prevention of conditions such as gout. The urine uric acid test measures how much uric acid is excreted in the urine. It can help diagnose gout risk, track uric acid levels and diagnose certain kidney stone causes.
