Uric Acid, Spot Urine near me in Kolkata

Uric Acid, Spot urine test is a simple and quick diagnostic procedure that evaluates the amount of uric acid in the urine sample. Uric acid is a byproduct of the breakdown of purines, naturally present in our body's tissues and in certain foods. When there is a problem with the kidneys, the level of uric acid released in the urine becomes abnormally high or low. When the body produces too much uric acid or the kidneys do not filter enough out, high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) can occur. Over time, it can form uric acid crystals which accumulate in the joints and cause a painful condition called gout. On the other hand, low levels of uric acid (hypouricemia) can indicate poor kidney function or exposure to toxic substances.
