Hyperuricemia can be divided into primary hyperuricemia (usually due to an increased production of uric acid from purine or due to the kidneys malfunctioning) and secondary hyperuricemia. The latter can be caused by a multitude of factors and diseases, notably certain cancers and chemotherapy agents that markedly increase the turnover rate of cell death.
