Is a uric acid test a blood test?

A uric acid test is a blood test. You can check blood uric acid alone or check kidney function, because checking kidney function includes checking blood uric acid. It is recommended that patients should go to a regular hospital in the morning on an empty stomach for the test. Uric acid values of less than 360μmol/L are generally normal for women and less than 420μmol/L for men. After the high uric acid value is detected, it is better to check the urine routine again to determine the acidity and alkalinity of the urine, so as to determine whether it is necessary to add alkalizing drugs to treat the urine. If the uric acid in the body has been too high, it is easy to form urate crystals in the body, in this case, it is recommended that a dual source CT examination can be performed, which can clarify the degree of urate crystals deposited in the body.
