Uric acid levels are typically measured through a blood test called a serum uric acid test. In some cases, a urine test may be used to measure the amount of uric acid excreted by the kidneys. Normal serum uric acid levels range from 3.5 to 7.2 mg/dL for men and 2.6 to 6.0 mg/dL for women, but these values can vary slightly depending on the laboratory.
