Urinezuur

The Cypress Diagnostics kit Uric Acid is an in vitro diagnostic medical device intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of uric acid in human serum or plasma. The device is not automated. The measurement of uric acid is intended to be used for the diagnosis of hyperuricemia for metabolic syndrome, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and kidney disease risk assessment and the monitoring of uric acid-lowering therapy for gout treatment. This kit is intended to be used by healthcare professionals in a laboratory-based testing environment.

Uric acid is the end-product of purine metabolism. Nearly half of the total uric acid is eliminated and replaced each day by way of urinary excretion and through microbial degradation in the intestinal tract. Increased uric acid levels are commonly associated with both nitrogen retention and urea, creatinine, and other non-protein constituents. The quantification of uric acid is an aid in the diagnosis of gout, decreased renal function, myeloproliferative disorders, and other conditions in which the cause for the hyperuricemia is not well known.
