How does Hyperuricemia Occur?
There are several factors that are known to cause hyperuricemia. Dehydration is one of them. When you don’t consume enough fluids, your body won’t excrete the uric acids quickly enough. Your kidneys will also begin to fail when not getting enough fluids. Another way of your kidneys failing is if you are over weight. Obesity causes a lot of weight to dwell on your kidneys, so this too can corrupt your kidneys from forming as they should. Eating foods with purines can also increase the level of uric acid in your body, so dieting correctly can help prevent hyperuricemia from occurring and avoiding gout altogether.
