| Usage: |
This assay is useful for the assessment and management of patients with kidney stones, particularly uric acid stones. Urinary uric acid excretion is elevated in a significant proportion of patients with uric acid stones, due to uric acid overproduction as in Leukemia and Polycythemia and after intake of food rich in nucleoproteins. |
