Inborn hyperuricemia is a condition characterized by elevated levels of uric acid in the body due to a genetic defect in the purine metabolism pathway. This can lead to the development of gout and other complications.
Hypouricemia, on the other hand, is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of uric acid in the body. It can also be caused by genetic mutations in the enzymes involved in purine metabolism. Hypouricemia is less common and can be associated with kidney dysfunction or certain medications.
