What does Uric Acid, Random Urine measure?

The Uric Acid, Random Urine test measures the concentration of uric acid in a single urine sample, providing insight into how effectively the body is processing and excreting this waste product. The result of the Uric Acid, Random Urine test is expressed as a ratio with urine creatinine.Uric acid is produced during the breakdown of purines, which are present in certain foods and are also part of the body's cellular structure.

The major amount of acid dissolves in the blood and is filtered into the kidneys. From there, uric acid is flushed out of the body via urination. Abnormal (too low or high) elimination of uric acid is often a result of impaired kidney function due to kidney disease. By analyzing uric acid levels in urine, doctors can assess kidney function and determine whether the body is excreting an appropriate amount of uric acid. Elevated levels in blood (known as hyperuricemia) may indicate overproduction or impaired elimination, which can contribute to conditions such as gout or kidney stones. In contrast, low levels in blood (known as hypouricemia) might suggest increased clearance or underlying metabolic issues.
