Uric Acid Clearance Rate Calculator

This calculator estimates how well your kidneys clear uric acid from your blood. Uric acid clearance is an important measure for evaluating kidney function and managing conditions like gout and kidney disease.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

CL = (Urine Uric Acid × Urine Volume) / Serum Uric Acid

Where:
CL = Uric Acid Clearance Rate (mL/min)
Urine Uric Acid = Uric acid concentration in urine (mg/dL)
Urine Volume = Urine flow rate (mL/min)
Serum Uric Acid = Uric acid concentration in blood (mg/dL)

Interpretation

Normal Range: Typically 6-12 mL/min for adults
Low Clearance: May indicate impaired kidney function
High Clearance: May indicate good kidney function

Uric Acid Clearance Rate Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Uric Acid Clearance Rate Calculator and understand its clinical significance

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the value for Urine Uric Acid (mg/dL). This is the concentration of uric acid in your urine sample.
  2. Enter the value for Urine Volume (mL/min). This is the rate at which urine is being produced.
  3. Enter the value for Serum Uric Acid (mg/dL). This is the concentration of uric acid in your blood sample.
  4. Click the Calculate button to compute the Uric Acid Clearance Rate.

Understanding the Results

The Uric Acid Clearance Rate (CL) indicates how efficiently your kidneys are filtering uric acid from your blood. A normal range for adults is typically 6-12 mL/min.

Low clearance rate (below the normal range) may suggest impaired kidney function or conditions like gout, while a high clearance rate (above the normal range) usually indicates good kidney function.

Clinical Significance

Uric acid clearance is an important measure in evaluating kidney function, especially in patients with gout, kidney disease, or conditions that affect uric acid metabolism.

This calculator provides a quick way to estimate uric acid clearance, but it should not replace professional medical advice. Always consult with a healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
