Uric Acid – 24-Hour Urine ( BC0009 )

Description

Uric Acid – 24-Hour Urine test measures the total amount of uric acid excreted over a full day to evaluate purine metabolism, gout risk, and uric acid kidney stone formation. This quantitative assessment helps distinguish between uric acid overproduction and under-excretion, guiding dietary advice, hydration plans, and medical therapy such as urate-lowering drugs.

The test is especially useful in patients with recurrent renal stones, chronic gout, unexplained hyperuricemia, or suspected metabolic disorders. When interpreted with serum uric acid and urine volume, it provides a comprehensive picture of uric acid handling by the kidneys and supports personalized prevention strategies.
