In human blood plasma, the reference range of uric acid is between 3.6 mg/dL (~214 µmol/L) and 8.3 mg/dL (~494 µmol/L) (1 mg/dL=59.48 µmol/L), and 2.3-6.6 mg/dL for woman (137-393 µmol/L). This range is considered normal by the American Medical Association Manual of Style. Uric acid concentrations in blood plasma above and below the normal range are known, respectively, as hyperuricemia and hypouricemia. Similarly, uric acid concentrations in urine above and below normal are known as hyperuricosuria and hypouricosuria. Such abnormal concentrations of uric acid are not medical conditions, but are associated with a variety of medical conditions.
