Asymptomatic hyperuricemia is a condition in which the uric acid concentration in the blood is increased, but the symptoms of gout have not yet been observed. (shinseungkeon.com)
However, even hyperuricemia without symptoms may accompany hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure , and arteriosclerosis, so careful observation is required. (shinseungkeon.com)

Hyperuricemia, namely elevated uric acid in the blood, can be caused by increased purine breakdown or reduced elimination by the kidney. (orthopaedia.com)
