What is the typical range for pediatric uric acid levels?

1-3
2-5.5
5.5-7
7-9

The correct answer is: 2-5.5

The typical range for pediatric uric acid levels is indeed between 2 and 5.5 mg/dL. Uric acid is a waste product formed from the natural breakdown of purines, which are found in various foods and also produced by the body. Monitoring uric acid levels is important in pediatrics, as abnormal levels can indicate a variety of conditions, such as kidney disease or metabolic disorders. In children, the levels can vary based on age, development, and health status, but the established normal range of 2 to 5.5 mg/dL is generally accepted for pediatric patients. This range provides a useful reference for clinicians to assess metabolic functions and identify any potential health issues early on. Understanding these normal values helps ensure better management of pediatric patients' health, especially when they may present with symptoms that could relate to elevated uric acid levels.
