Get a Serum Uric Acid blood test at VRX Diagno Lounge, Goregaon West used to diagnose gout, monitor treatment, evaluate kidney stones, and screen patients on chemotherapy. 8-hour fasting preferred. Pathologist-reviewed report by evening. 24×7 home collection.
Uric Acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines from food and dying cells. The kidneys excrete most of it; when production rises or excretion falls, it builds up in blood (hyperuricaemia) and may deposit as crystals in joints (gout) or kidneys (uric-acid stones). The test is used to diagnose and monitor gout, screen for tumour-lysis syndrome during chemotherapy, and evaluate kidney stones. 8-hour fasting is preferred.
Painful joint inflammation, classically of the big toe uric acid above 7 mg/dL strongly suggests gout when joints are inflamed
Persistent hyperuricaemia is a leading cause of urate stones needs dietary and pH management
Rapidly rising uric acid during chemotherapy can damage kidneys monitored before and during treatment
High uric acid is linked to obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular risk
Diuretics (especially thiazides), low-dose aspirin, and immunosuppressants can raise uric acid
Reduced excretion in kidney disease can cause secondary hyperuricaemia
Especially big toe, ankle, or knee to confirm or rule out gout
Particularly uric-acid stones detected on imaging
Long-term thiazide or loop diuretics can raise uric acid
Annual screening recommended hyperuricaemia is part of metabolic syndrome
Strong genetic predisposition periodic screening is wise
Weight excess raises uric-acid production and reduces excretion
Monitored before and during treatment to prevent tumour-lysis kidney injury
Both raise purine load periodic check is helpful
| Parameter | What It Measures | Reference Range |
|---|---|---|
| Men | Adult male reference | 3.4–7.0 mg/dL |
| Women | Adult female reference | 2.4–6.0 mg/dL |
| Hyperuricaemia | Risk of gout / stones | > 7.0 mg/dL (M) · > 6.0 (F) |
| Treatment Target (gout) | Goal once on therapy | < 6.0 mg/dL |
| Tophaceous Gout Target | More aggressive control | < 5.0 mg/dL |
Levels within reference range and no joint or kidney symptoms suggest no urate-related concern. Continue routine yearly screening if you have risk factors.
High uric acid (above 7 mg/dL in men or 6 in women) is hyperuricaemia. Not everyone with hyperuricaemia gets gout, but risk rises with level and duration. Low uric acid is uncommon and usually benign. Your physician will correlate with symptoms and history.
Every report is reviewed by an experienced pathologist with clear interpretation and clinical comment.

Truly appreciated the personal attention and professional approach during my aqua therapy sessions. The physiotherapist explained everything clearly. Highly recommended for anyone needing supervised pool-based rehab.
Started here after my knee surgery on my doctor's recommendation. The 1-on-1 sessions made a real difference and the team was supportive and patient throughout my recovery process. Worth every visit.
My mother has been visiting VRX Goregaon for arthritis-related sessions. The staff is patient, the centre is clean and well-maintained, and the pricing is transparent exactly what we were looking for.
Detailed initial consultation, no rushed appointments. The aqua therapy approach felt much gentler on my joints than regular gym workouts. Will continue here for the foreseeable future.
Easy to book, professional team, and a well-maintained therapy pool. I felt reassured by the close supervision throughout each session. Worth the visit if you need supervised aqua therapy in Mumbai.
Have visited multiple physio centres, but the depth of attention at VRX is genuinely different. They actually adapt the plan as you progress instead of giving everyone the same routine.
