What is Uric Acid (Uric Acid)?
Uric Acid is measured as part of a kidney function panel. Your uric acid is normal.
What does a high Uric Acid mean?
Elevated uric acid can cause gout — painful joint inflammation — especially in the big toe, ankles, and knees. It can also contribute to kidney stones. Dietary factors (red meat, shellfish, beer) play a role.
If markedly elevated: Critically high uric acid significantly increases risk of gout attacks and kidney complications.
What does a low Uric Acid mean?
Low uric acid is rarely significant.
