Urate (Uric acid) – Private Testing in London
The Urate (Uric acid) is available at South Kensington Medical and Dental, our CQC-registered clinic in South Kensington, London SW7. This test is priced at £38. A £50 phlebotomy fee applies per visit for blood collection. It requires a venous blood sample, and results are typically available within 1 day.
Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism. Elevated levels (hyperuricaemia) can cause gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis, and may contribute to kidney stone formation.
Who Should Consider the Urate (Uric acid)?
Individuals with acute joint inflammation (especially the big toe, ankle, or knee) suggestive of gout. Those with recurrent kidney stones. Patients with metabolic syndrome, obesity, or on diuretics.
During an acute gout flare, uric acid levels may actually be normal or low, so timing of testing matters. Long-term management targets a level below 360 micromol/L.
A trained nurse collects the blood sample by standard venepuncture, a straightforward procedure that typically takes around five minutes. Our clinic is on Old Brompton Road, directly opposite South Kensington tube station (Piccadilly, Circle, and District lines). No GP referral is needed — book online or call 020 7183 2362.
