Normally your kidneys filter it out and you pass it in urine. The test simply measures how much is left in your blood.<\/p>\n<p>When the level climbs too high, uric acid can turn into tiny sharp crystals. Those crystals settle in joints and cause gout, or collect in the kidneys and form stones. Think of it like sugar in tea: dissolved, you never notice it, but past a certain point it stops dissolving and settles at the bottom.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Serum_Urate_Blood_Uric_Acid_and_Uric_Acid_Test_The_Same_Test\"><\/span>Serum Urate, Blood Uric Acid and Uric Acid Test: The Same Test<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your slip says <strong>Uric Acid (Serum)<\/strong>, <strong>Serum Urate<\/strong>, or <strong>Blood Uric Acid<\/strong>, that is this test.

A standard uric acid blood test does not require fasting. If it is combined with a fasting sugar or lipid profile, follow the fasting rules for those. Avoid a heavy meat meal and alcohol the day before, as both raise the level.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_normal_uric_acid_level\"><\/span>What is the normal uric acid level?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Around 3.4 to 7.0 mg\/dL in men and 2.4 to 6.0 mg\/dL in women.
