QUCARE® Self Blood Uric Acid test strip
Qucare Self Uric Acid Test is a simple home diagnostic kit that provides rapid, reliable screening for elevated uric acid levels to help monitor gout and kidney health in minutes.
Proactive Home Monitoring for Gout Prevention and Metabolic Health Management
Uric acid is a waste product found in the blood, created when the body breaks down chemicals called purines. When the body produces too much uric acid or cannot remove enough of it through the kidneys, levels rise—a condition known as hyperuricemia. This buildup can lead to the formation of sharp crystals, resulting in excruciatingly painful gout attacks, kidney stones, and increased risks for diabetes and cardiovascular issues.
QUCARE® Self Uric Acid test strip is a rapid, finger-prick diagnostic tool designed to monitor blood uric acid levels from the comfort of home, empowering you to detect elevated levels before they escalate into chronic health complications.

Quick FAQ
