What pathogenic processes are responsible for the development of hyperuricemia?
- • Overproduction of urate (endogenous or exogenous dietary purine precursors).
- • Underexcretion of urate (abnormal renal handling of urate).
- • A combination of both processes.
Most patients with hyperuricemia and gout are underexcreters of uric acid (90%).
