Lina Medical uric acid tester measures uric acid levels in blood, helping monitor conditions like gout and kidney stones.
The normal range for a uric acid test typically varies depending on the laboratory and the measurement units used. Generally, for adult men, the normal range is between 3.4 to 7.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), while for adult women, it is between 2.4 to 6.0 mg/dL. It’s important to note that these values can slightly differ based on the specific lab and its reference standards. Elevated levels of uric acid may indicate conditions such as gout or kidney stones, while lower levels could be associated with certain medical conditions or medications. Always consult with a healthcare provider for accurate diagnosis and interpretation.
Monitoring uric acid levels is crucial for maintaining overall health. Elevated uric acid can lead to gout, a painful form of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness, and swelling in the joints. High levels are also associated with kidney stones and renal dysfunction. Regular monitoring helps in early detection and management of these conditions, preventing complications. Additionally, it can provide insights into dietary and lifestyle adjustments needed to maintain optimal health. Keeping uric acid levels in check is essential for reducing the risk of chronic diseases and improving quality of life.
