Síndrome de Hiperuricemia: Una Perspectiva Fisiopatológica Integrada
Víctor Adolfo Ríos-Barrera, César Francisco Pacheco-Tena, Alfredo Nevárez-Rascón and Martina Nevárez-Rascón
Hyperuricemia syndrome is relatively common in humans, affecting nearly
a quarter of the population, with male predominance 3 to 4 times higher
comparing with premenopausal women. Most patients with hyperuricemia
(>90%) only show this finding without any evidence of symptomatology;
however, the rest do have some clinical picture, being the most common
Gout. Uric acid metabolism is complex, which causes its involvement in other
conditions either directly or indirectly, either as a cause or consequently
thereof. In this work we made a conceptual integration between the
etiological, pathophysiological and clinical bases of this syndrome.
