Hyperuricemia can also develop as a result of chemotherapy or radiation treatment, since cells die at a faster-than-normal rate.

放疗、化疗也会导致高尿酸血症，因为放、化疗会让细胞凋亡的速度比正常时更快。

The underlying cause is hyperuricemia— too much uric acid in the blood, which results in the formation of sharp, needle-like crystals, in areas with slow blood flow like the joints and the kidney tubules.

引起痛风的原因是高尿酸血症，即血液中的尿酸含量过高，过多的尿酸会在血流缓慢的地方，如关节腔和肾小管，形成尖锐的细针样结晶。
