There are two main: causes for hyperuricemia: underexcretion (you don't get rid of enough) or overproduction (you make too much) or both.Most of the time it is underexcretion due to a kidney defect. Overproduction may come from exogenous (outside) sources like a diet rich in purines (organ meats/all meats, anchovies/sardines, beer) or endogenous."Indigenous races of the Pacific" have lower excretion;it may be genetic
