Some studies have shown that probiotics are beneficial to lowering uric acid levels to a certain extent, which helps to promote uric acid metabolism and reduce kidney damage.
Current research suggests that microecological agents such as probiotics may be a new direction for the treatment and prevention of hyperuricemia and gout, such as Clostridium casei, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and so on. The addition of probiotics to general uric acid-lowering treatments such as benzbromarone and febuxostat will increase the intestinal clearance of uric acid and increase the uric acid-lowering effect.
In addition, the intake of probiotics not only promotes the metabolism of uric acid, but also has a preventive effect on the renal changes caused by hyperuricemia as well as endothelial dysfunction, which has the potential to reduce the renal damage, and has a certain degree of protection against the damage of renal function. Therefore, probiotics are beneficial in reducing uric acid levels to a certain extent.
Patients with high uric acid are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals and other related departments for detailed consultation.
