How accurate are uric acid urine test strips compared to blood tests?

The uric acid test strips measure levels in urine with a target range of 100-300, providing an initial screening tool at home. Research from 2016 shows uric acid as an indicator for metabolic syndrome, hypertension, heart disease, and obesity. These strips allow you to track patterns and potential metabolic issues from home, though customers note the uric acid colors can be difficult to read compared to ketone measurements.

Do uric acid test strips work for monitoring kidney function?

These strips measure uric acid levels as a metabolic indicator, not specifically for kidney function monitoring. The strips track uric acid in the 100-300 range to help identify potential metabolic dysfunction including weight gain and heart disease risk. Multiple customers use them successfully as part of Dr. Anna's Keto-Green program to track metabolic progress alongside ketone and pH levels in one convenient strip.

How long does it take to see results on the test strips?

Results appear within 60 seconds for pH and uric acid, and 40 seconds for ketones after dipping in urine. One customer achieved both ketosis and alkalinity after quite a few weeks of tracking, while another discovered they were not reaching ketosis despite 18-20 hour fasts. The strips help identify what dietary changes work, with customers reporting they figured out what foods affect their alkalinity levels.

Why do some customers say the colors are hard to read?

Multiple customers report the colors do not match the bottle chart exactly, especially for uric acid readings and low-level ketosis. Some strips appear faded or missing test pads entirely, particularly during warm humid months. Despite color-reading challenges, customers with 4.7/5 average rating across 309 reviews still find them valuable for tracking progress, with one noting they are oddly addicting to use.

Can I use these strips if I am not following a keto diet?

Yes, the strips measure three health markers relevant beyond keto dieting: ketones, pH balance, and uric acid levels. The pH measurement tracks alkalinity with a target of 7.0 and higher, while uric acid monitoring helps identify metabolic dysfunction risks. One customer got their husband to use them to check his ketones and acidity levels, and customers report better sleep, energy, and overall health benefits.

How many test strips come in each package?

Each package contains 50 strips in a foil package to preserve freshness, designed as a 30-day supply when testing 3 times per day as recommended. One customer was surprised to receive 200 strips total, though the standard listing shows 50 per package. The strips test ketones, pH, and uric acid levels with one dip, making them a convenient 3-in-1 testing solution for tracking metabolic health.

Why You'll Love This

Benefits

I always say what gets measured gets managed – especially in menopause and women over the age of 40.

That's why my Keto-pH® Uric Acid Test Strips got an upgrade and now includes measuring uric acid levels. These test strips are designed to help you check your progress with healthy fat loss, balanced hormones, and could help prevent future metabolic issues.
Research published in 2016 showed how uric acid was an indicator, not just for gout, but for all issues of disordered metabolism including hypertension, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, dementia, obesity, and weight gain.

With the Keto-pH® Uric Acid Test Strips, you can check your ketones, pH, and uric acid levels from the comforts of your home.

How it Works

How to use the strips:

Hold the strip furthest away from the test pad.
Pass test pad in urine stream or dip in urine filled cup.
Set flat on absorbent paper.
After 40 seconds, match to the ketone color chart.
After 60 seconds match to the alkaline color chart.
After 60 seconds, match to the uric acid chart.

Test 3 times per day. The package has 50 strips in a foil package to preserve freshness.

Ideal Results:

Ketone levels: 1.5 and higher
pH: 7.0 and higher
Uric Acid: 100 to 300

FAQ

What are ketones?

Fixed ketones are not normally found in the urine. They are by-products of fat metabolism. They can form when a person does not eat enough carbohydrates (for example, in cases of starvation or high-protein diets, such as ketogenic and paleo) or when a person's body cannot use carbohydrates properly. When carbohydrates are not available, the body metabolizes fat instead to get the energy it needs to keep functioning! Urine ketones can be an initial discerning tool to let you know you’re on the right track to fat loss.

What is Ketosis?

When you have a scarcity of carbohydrates, your body goes looking for other energy sources. After about 3 days without sufficient carbs, most of your glycogen stores will be depleted and your body will start burning fat and produce ketone bodies.

Why do I want Ketones?

The presence of ketones means your body is burning fat for fuel. Ketones are also a marker for improved brain health and better metabolism.

Why do I want to be alkaline?

This clues us into our cellular health. An alkaline diet helps improve hormone balance and supports stronger bones & less hot flashes!

Why check urine pH?

pH is a measurement of our acid-alkaline balance. The kidneys play an important role in maintaining the acid-alkaline balance of the body. Therefore, any condition that produces acids or bases in the body such as acidosis or alkalosis, or the ingestion of acidic or basic foods, can directly affect urine pH. Diet can be used to modify urine pH. A high-protein diet or consuming cranberries will make the urine more acidic. A vegetarian diet, and the ingestion of citrus fruits and other alkaline foods, like maca, will tend to make the urine more alkaline. pH in blood is very stable. PH in the urine can be a clue to discovery about our health. Stress can be a contributor to a low pH.

What do I do if my ketones and pH levels aren’t optimal?

What do I do if my uric acid levels aren’t optimal?

100 to 300 is the normal range for uric acid. We want to keep it on that lower side and when it's over 300 consistently, follow that up with a blood test of uric acid that any doctor can order.

This podcast episode with Dr. David Perlmutter as well as his book, Drop Acid, is a great resource for you.
