The Uric Acid, Urine Random Test measures the amount of uric acid in a urine sample. Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, which are found in certain foods and drinks. Excess uric acid can lead to conditions like gout or kidney stones. This test helps assess how well your body is excreting uric acid and identifies potential health risks.

What It Measures:

  • Uric Acid Levels in Urine: Detects high or low concentrations that may indicate kidney function issues or gout risk.

Why It’s Important:

  • Gout Risk: High uric acid can form crystals in joints, causing painful inflammation.

  • Kidney Health: Elevated urine uric acid may signal poor kidney filtration and risk for stones or kidney disease.

  • Diet & Lifestyle Monitoring: Helps evaluate the impact of purine-rich foods and guide lifestyle changes.

Convenient Testing:
No doctor’s visit required. Available via at-home urine collection or at our Patient Service Centers (PSCs) in Central Florida. Nationwide testing is also available, so you can monitor your uric acid levels wherever you are.
