What does this test check?
Uric acid builds up when the body makes too much or excretes too little — and high levels can crystallise in joints, causing gout: sudden, severe pain classically in the big toe.
High uric acid is also linked with kidney stones and often travels with diabetes and obesity, so it is worth checking as part of metabolic screening.
