Descriptor hiperuricemia
Scope note: El exceso de ÁCIDO ÚRICO o uratos en sangre viene definido por su solubilidad en plasma a 37 grados C; cuando es mayor que 0.4 mmol por litro (7.0 mg/dL) para los hombres, o que 0.36 mmol por litro (6.0 mg/dL) para las mujeres. Esta condición tiiene su causa en una sobreproducción de ácido úrico o una deficiente eliminación renal. La hiperuricemia puede ser adquirida, inducida por drogas o de origen genético (SÍNDROME DE LESCH-NYHAN) y se asocia con HIPERTENSIÓN y GOTA.

Scope note: Excessive URIC ACID or urate in blood as defined by its solubility in plasma at 37 degrees C; greater than 0.42mmol per liter (7.0mg/dL) in men or 0.36mmol per liter (6.0mg/dL) in women. This condition is caused by overproduction of uric acid or impaired renal clearance. Hyperuricemia can be acquired, drug-induced or genetically determined (LESCH-NYHAN SYNDROME). It is associated with HYPERTENSION and GOUT.
