Why This Biomarker Matters
Amniotic fluid urate levels help assess fetal kidney function and metabolic health during pregnancy, detecting potential complications early.
Understanding Your Results
Normal Range
4 mg/dL
Overview
This test measures urate (uric acid) levels in amniotic fluid during pregnancy. Urate is a breakdown product of purine metabolism. Elevated amniotic fluid urate may reflect fetal kidney function or metabolic status. This specialized test is used in prenatal assessment to evaluate fetal well-being and detect certain metabolic disorders or kidney dysfunction in the developing fetus.
