Clinical significance
The uric acid blood test is used to detect high levels of this compound in the blood. High levels of uric acid in your blood typically indicate that your body is making too much uric acid or that your kidneys aren't removing enough uric acid from your body. The test is also used to monitor uric acid levels in people undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer. Having cancer can also raise your uric acid levels.
The reference ranges for uric acid in the blood are as follows: Adult male: 4.0-8.5 mg/dL or 0.24-0.51 mmol/L. Adult female: 2.7-7.3 mg/dL or 0.16-0.43 mmol/L.
Generally, your uric acid level is high when: For males, it's over 7 mg/dL. For females, it's over 6 mg/dL.
In TLS, a uric acid level >9 mg/dL is treated with hydration, allopurinol and alkalinization of the urine. Dialysis should be considered for a uric acid level >10 mg/dL.
Natural Ways to Reduce Uric Acid in the Body:
Limit purine-rich foods. Avoid sugar. Avoid alcohol. Lose weight. Balance insulin. Add fiber. Reduce stress. Check medications and supplements.
