What this test is
Uric acid is a waste product from breaking down purines (found in red meat, organ meat, and seafood). High levels can cause gout (painful joint inflammation), kidney stones, and are linked with metabolic syndrome. Tight control with diet plus medication prevents gout flares.
When you need this test
- Sudden painful swelling of big toe or other joint
- Family history of gout
- Kidney stones
- Metabolic syndrome workup
How to prepare
- Light overnight fast preferred (not strict).
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before — it transiently raises uric acid.
- Avoid large meals of red meat or seafood the day before.

FAQs
What's a normal uric acid?
Generally under 7 mg/dL in men, under 6 mg/dL in women. Higher does not always mean gout — symptoms matter.Will diet fix it?
Diet helps but is rarely enough alone for established gout. Cherries, low-fat dairy, and water are useful; medications like allopurinol are often needed.
