How to use this sheet
- Print the PDF and file it with your other test results, or keep it in your GoutLog folder.
- Every time you get a uric acid reading — lab draw or home meter — record it on the next row.
- Note the unit (mg/dL is common in the US; µmol/L elsewhere), and whether it was a lab or home reading.
- Write the medications you were on at the time (allopurinol, febuxostat, colchicine, etc.) — trends only make sense against treatment.
- Bring the log to your doctor. Trend data guides target adjustments; single numbers rarely do.
Questions
Is this log really free?
Yes. The PDF is free to download and print — no sign-up, no email.
What target uric acid level should I aim for?
Targets are set by your doctor and depend on your specific situation. This sheet doesn't set a target — it just gives you a clean record so your doctor can see where the number is going.
Are home uric acid meters accurate enough?
Home meters vary in accuracy and are generally used for trend-watching between lab tests, not for replacing them. Noting the source (home vs lab) in the log helps your doctor weigh the readings appropriately.
Is there an app version?
Yes — GoutLog for iPhone records uric acid readings alongside meals, medications, and flares, and shows the trend on a chart. Core is free, no account needed, and your data stays on your device.
