Hyperuricaemia without signs of inflammatory arthritis and tophaceous disease - what does this mean

Hyperuricaemia without signs of inflammatory arthritis and tophaceous disease is caused by an abnormally high level of uric acid in the blood, which can be due to an increased production of uric acid or reduced excretion of it by the kidneys. this condition is often asymptomatic, but can lead to the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints, resulting in gout and other forms of arthritis.

What happens during the disease - hyperuricaemia without signs of inflammatory arthritis and tophaceous disease

Hyperuricaemia is a condition characterized by an elevated level of uric acid in the blood. it can be caused by either overproduction of uric acid by the body or decreased excretion of uric acid by the kidneys. in the absence of inflammatory arthritis and tophaceous disease, the hyperuricaemia is likely due to an imbalance between the production and excretion of uric acid, resulting in an accumulation of uric acid in the bloodstream.
