Normal Results

• According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, a patient with normal uric acid test results has between 3 and 7 mg of uric acid per deciliter of blood.
  
  

Purine

• The body creates uric acid when it breaks down purines from foods such as liver, fish or beans or from drinks such as wine or beer. The kidneys remove most uric acid from a patient's blood and excrete it from the body in urine.
  
  

Hyperuricemia

• People with test results that show abnormally high blood levels of uric acid have hyperuricemia. This condition has several causes including diabetes, alcoholism and lead poisoning.
  
  

Hyperuricemia Complications

• Individuals with hyperuricemia have an increased risk of developing kidney disease or gout.
  
  

Low Uric Acid

• Patients with a low purine diet, Wilson's disease or Fanconi syndrome, may have low serum blood levels of uric acid in a uric acid test. Wilson's disease is an inherited condition that causes copper buildup in body tissues, and Fanconi syndrome is a kidney tubes disorder.
