Hyperuricemia meaning in Urdu is "خون میں یورک ایسڈ کی زیادتی". It is a condition in which the level of uric acid in the blood is higher than normal. Uric acid is a waste product the body makes when it breaks down purines, which are found in many foods and drinks.
Normally, uric acid dissolves in the blood, passes through the kidneys, and leaves the body in urine. When the body makes too much uric acid or the kidneys cannot remove enough, it builds up in the blood. About 1 in 5 people have hyperuricemia. It is the main cause of gout, a painful form of arthritis, and can also lead to kidney stones.
Many people with hyperuricemia have no symptoms. When symptoms appear, they are usually due to gout or kidney stones. Common signs include:

This type happens when the body naturally produces too much uric acid. It is usually linked to genetic factors and family history.
In this form, hyperuricemia develops because of another medical condition or medicines, such as kidney disease, chemotherapy, or diuretics.
