Uric Acid

The urine uric acid test (urinary uric acid) is performed to measure the amount of uric acid in the urine. Uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism (a substance found in food and the body's cells). This test primarily helps assess issues related to uric acid metabolism and the health status of the kidneys.
