Fractional Excretion of Uric Acid (FEUA)

Fractional excretion of uric acid = 100 x (urine uric acid x serum creatinine) / (serum uric acid x urine creatinine); normal 4-11%, aiding the hyponatremia / SIADH workup.

Example

Urine uric acid
30 mg/dL
Serum creatinine
1 mg/dL
Serum uric acid
6 mg/dL
Urine creatinine
60 mg/dL

Result: Fractional excretion of uric acid 8.3% — within normal range (4-11%).

What the result means

4-11%
Normal.
< 4% / > 11%
Underexcretion / overexcretion (100 x UUA x SCr / (SUA x UCr)). Aids the hyponatremia workup. A renal index, not a diagnosis.

How this is calculated

Fractional excretion of uric acid = 100 x (UUA x SCr) / (SUA x UCr); used in the hyponatremia / SIADH / cerebral-salt-wasting workup. (Decaux G, et al; standard nephrology references.) Read the source ↗
