Test Detail

Uric Acid, Urine 24H

A 24-hour urine uric acid test measures the total amount of uric acid your body excretes in a day, helping to diagnose gout, kidney stones, and metabolic disorders. Normal results are typically 250 to 750 mg/day, but variations exist between labs. To prepare, a healthcare provider may suggest fasting and avoiding high-purine foods, and you must collect every drop of urine over a 24-hour period in a special container.
