Hyperuricosuria is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally high level of uric acid in the urine. It is often associated with, and can lead to, the formation of kidney stones.
Causes[edit]
Hyperuricosuria can be caused by a variety of factors. These include a diet high in purines, which are found in certain foods and are broken down into uric acid by the body. It can also be caused by certain genetic disorders, such as Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, which affect the body's ability to process purines. Certain medications, such as diuretics, can also cause hyperuricosuria.
Symptoms[edit]
The symptoms of hyperuricosuria can vary depending on the severity of the condition. In some cases, there may be no symptoms at all. In other cases, symptoms can include pain in the back or side, blood in the urine, and frequent urination. If kidney stones form as a result of the condition, this can cause severe pain and other complications.
Diagnosis[edit]
Hyperuricosuria is typically diagnosed through a urine test, which can detect high levels of uric acid. In some cases, a blood test may also be used to measure the level of uric acid in the blood.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for hyperuricosuria typically involves changes to the diet to reduce the intake of purines. This can include avoiding foods such as red meat, seafood, and alcohol. Medications may also be used to help the body excrete uric acid more effectively. In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove kidney stones.
