High Blood Pressure |
Uric acid04/15/2008 |
my blood test results came back, the level of uric acid was 186. What does that mean as my Dr said normal readings are 0-20.
The normal level for uric acid is 150 to 480 mcmol/L for men and 90 to 360 mcmol/L for women. Your level therefore falls in the normal range.
In the U.S., uric acid is measured in mg/dL. The normal levels are 2.5 to 8.0 for men and 1.5 to 6.0 for women.
An elevated uric acid level increases the risk for gout and for kidney stones.
