High levels of urates in the blood, known as hyperuricemia, can be caused by several factors, including overproduction of uric acid due to excessive purine intake from foods like red meat and seafood, or conditions that increase cell turnover, such as cancer or psoriasis. Impaired kidney function can also lead to decreased excretion of uric acid, contributing to elevated levels. Other factors may include dehydration, certain medications, and genetic predispositions. Hyperuricemia can lead to gout and other health issues if not managed properly.
