What is the most common cause of hyperuricemia?
Combined mechanisms (underexcretion and overproduction) can also cause hyperuricemia. The most common cause under this group is alcohol consumption, which results in accelerated hepatic breakdown of ATP and the generation of organic acids that compete with urate for tubular secretion.
What causes of hyperuricemia?
What Causes Hyperuricemia? Causes of high uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) can be primary (increased uric acid levels due to purine), and secondary (high uric acid levels due to another disease or condition). Sometimes, the body produces more uric acid than it is able to excrete.
