Hyperuricemia is a medical condition defined as an elevated level of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is a byproduct of purine metabolism, which is obtained from the consumption of certain foods like red meat, seafood, and alcoholic beverages. Normally, the excess uric acid is processed by the kidneys and excreted from the body in urine.
However, in individuals with hyperuricemia, this process is impaired, leading to the accumulation of uric acid in the bloodstream. Hyperuricemia can lead to a variety of health problems, most commonly gout, which is an inflammatory arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints.
Other potential complications of hyperuricemia include the formation of kidney stones, as well as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and metabolic syndrome. Treatment for hyperuricemia typically involves lifestyle modifications like dietary changes and weight loss, as well as medications that either reduce uric acid production or increase its excretion from the body.
