I remember studying that colchicines can interfere with uric acid measurements, so B) Uric acids seems like the correct answer.

Hmm, I thought Colchicine was just for gout, didn't realize it could affect other lab tests. Good to know!

Wait, so Colchicine can give false readings on urates? That's pretty wild, gotta be careful with that one.
