Uric Acid Test Price in Pakistan | City Care Lab

Uric acid builds up when your body breaks down purines, substances found naturally in your body and in foods like red meat, organ meat and certain seafood. When levels run high, uric acid crystals can settle in joints and cause gout, or contribute to kidney stones.

We recommend an 8 hour fast where possible, though it is not strictly mandatory, since food closer to the test can nudge results slightly higher. If you have joint pain, especially in the big toe, this is often one of the first tests your doctor will order.

Results come back the same day, giving your doctor a quick answer on whether diet changes or medication are needed.
