* Secondary hyperuricemia ** Certain cancers (or the associated chemotherapy agents)

** Kidney disease - this may cause you to not be able excete the uric acid ** Medications - can cause increased levels of uric acid in the blood ** Endocrine or metabolic conditions such as Diabetes or acidosis Aside: Elevated uric acid levels may produce:
