The normal value for blood uric acid in adult males is 150 to 416 umol/L when measured using an enzymatic method.
Uric acid is a metabolite of purines in nucleoproteins and nucleic acids and can come from the body or from the breakdown and metabolism of purines in food. The liver is the main site of uric acid production and the kidneys are the main site of uric acid excretion. About 90% of the uric acid that enters the original urine is reabsorbed in the renal tubules and returned to the blood. Therefore, blood uric acid concentration can be detected by testing the blood.
Blood uric acid is often measured using an enzymatic method, and the normal value of blood uric acid concentration for adult males is 150~416 umol/L and for females is 89~357 umol/L. Higher values can be seen in gout, renal impairment, etc., while lower values can be seen in hepatic impairment, chronic cadmium toxicity, etc.
When abnormal blood uric acid occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
