A member asked:

My urine volume for uric acid testing was 6300 ml. would that increase make a ua result of 1216 mg normal ? do you adjust for volume ? ty

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: Making 6 liters of urine means you drank a whole lot, likely too much. That said, it should effect your uric acid excretion too much. I would repeat the test with a more normal 2-3 liter oral intake of fluids. You should also have your blood uric acid level checked, and you urine ph with a dipstick.
