Uric Acid Level

6.5 mg/dL
µmol/L:--
Normal
💡

Expert Tip

Normal range: Male 3.4–7.0 mg/dL, Female 2.4–6.0 mg/dL. Levels > 7.0 increase gout risk. Hyperuricemia is also linked to CVD and kidney disease.

Calculation Methodology & Details

Formula

Classification per sex-specific reference ranges Conversion: µmol/L = mg/dL × 59.48

Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism. Excess levels can lead to crystal deposition in joints (gout) and kidneys.

FAQ

Why is Non-HDL cholesterol preferred in metabolic risk assessment?
Non-HDL cholesterol (Total Cholesterol minus HDL) measures all atherogenic particles (LDL, VLDL, IDL) and is often a better predictor of cardiovascular events than LDL alone, especially when triglycerides are elevated.
What is a healthy Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio?
An ideal Triglyceride/HDL ratio (in mg/dL) is 2.0 or lower. Ratios above 4.0 strongly correlate with small dense LDL particles and insulin resistance.
Should risk scores replace medical consultation?
No. Risk calculators like Framingham and QRISK3 provide statistical risk estimates for population groups. Treatment decisions regarding statins or lifestyle modifications should always be made with a medical doctor.
