Urinary Uric Acid (Spot) Test

The Urinary Uric Acid (Spot) Test offered by healthcare nt sickcare is a simple, non-invasive urine test used to measure the level of uric acid in the urine. Uric acid is a waste product formed from the breakdown of purines, which are found in many foods and are also produced by the body. The test is performed using a small sample of urine collected in a sterile container.

The Urinary Uric Acid (Spot) Test is used to evaluate kidney function, monitor uric acid levels in people with gout or kidney stones, and help diagnose conditions that can cause high levels of uric acid in the urine such as renal tubular acidosis, a rare condition in which the kidneys fail to acidify urine properly.

The test is recommended for individuals who are experiencing symptoms of gout, such as joint pain, swelling, and redness. It is also recommended for those who have a history of kidney stones or have a family history of kidney disease. The test is not recommended for pregnant women or those who have had recent surgery.

healthcare nt sickcare uses state-of-the-art technology and follows strict quality control measures to ensure accurate and reliable results for every test. Results are typically available within 24–48 hours of sample collection and are reported in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for patients to understand.
