Hyperuricemia and associated factors: The case of outpatients at the Bafoussam Regional Hospital- Cameroon, an analytical cross-sectional study.

We propose to study the prevalence and associated factors of hyperuricemia to diagnose asymptomatic patients and make prognoses on the state of health of the patients.

Methods: An analytic cross-sectional study has been carried out at the Bafoussam Regional Hospital and the Biochemistry laboratory of the Université des Montagnes over 2 months.
