Hyperuricemia refers to a condition characterized by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a waste product formed when the body breaks down purines, which are naturally found in the body and in certain foods. Normally, uric acid dissolves in the blood and is filtered out by the kidneys, then excreted in urine. However, if the body produces too much uric acid or the kidneys do not excrete enough, uric acid levels can rise, leading to hyperuricemia.
Several factors can contribute to hyperuricemia. These include a diet high in purine-rich foods such as red
While hyperuricemia itself may not cause symptoms, it is a significant risk factor for several health problems.
