The uric acid blood test measures the level of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, which are substances found in the body's cells and in certain foods. Uric acid is normally filtered by the kidneys and passed out of the body in urine. This test is commonly used to help evaluate gout, a condition in which high uric acid levels can lead to crystal buildup in the joints. It may also be used to monitor uric acid levels in people undergoing certain cancer treatments, to help assess kidney function, and to investigate the cause of kidney stones.

Guides about Uric Acid

Plain-English explanations of what this test measures and how it's done.

What is a comprehensive metabolic panel testing for?
A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) measures 14 substances in one blood sample to give a broad picture of kidney function, liver function, blood sugar, protein levels and electrolyte balance. It is one of the most commonly ordered blood tests in routine care, and it usually requires fasting because it includes glucose.

Uric Acid: common questions

How much does a Uric Acid test cost without insurance?

The lowest self-pay price we track for Uric Acid is $4.12 at Mito Health, across 18 ordering services; the highest is $59.00. You pay the ordering service directly, and no insurance is involved. Prices were last verified on September 28, 2026.

Do you need a doctor's order for a Uric Acid test?

No. Every ordering service listed on this page includes the physician order with the purchase, so you can buy Uric Acid yourself and take the requisition to the lab. Your results come back to you — what they mean is a conversation for you and a clinician.

Where is the blood drawn for a Uric Acid test?

At a Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp patient service center, depending on which laboratory the ordering service you pick uses. You choose the location and time after you order. LabTestCompare does not draw blood, run tests, or issue results — we only compare what each service charges.

Can you use health insurance for a Uric Acid test?

No. Every price on this page is a self-pay price paid directly to the ordering service, and none of these services bill insurance. If you want Uric Acid billed through your plan instead, that goes through your own provider — which is a separate route with its own cost, and worth comparing against the prices here.

Is this the same Uric Acid test a doctor would order?

Yes — it is the same assay, identified by the same laboratory order codes: Quest #905 and LabCorp #001057. Every price on this page is matched to that code, which is how we can say the services are being compared on an identical test rather than on similarly named products.

How long do Uric Acid results take?

That is set by the laboratory rather than by us. Routine blood tests are commonly back within a few business days and specialized assays take longer; the ordering service states the expected turnaround for Uric Acid before you buy, and delivers the result to you directly.
