symptoms.

Answer 3

It's really hard to tell, since the symptoms could be the cause of Hyperuricemia..
Uric acid is a break down product of Purines, From there it dissolves into the bloodstream and is excreted with the urine.
One symptom cloosely related to it is Kiddney failure or kiddney problems in general. But in reality it could be the cause of the Uric acid build up in your system.

Thank You :)

Answer 8

Basically if it's a primary cause then it can only be due to increased breakdown of Purine (So you'd want to look up increased synthesis of Purine).
Or unable to excrete sufficiant amount of Uric acid in which case it would be a kidney problem. (See the paradox i mentioned, It's registered as a symptom, while it could aswell be the cause of it.)
