Advances in the treatment of hyperuricemia with traditional Chinese medicine
Hyperuricemia(HUA),a prevalent metabolic disorder,is closely associated with the development of various diseases.Within Chinese medicine literature,HUA is not explicitly labeled;instead,it falls under categories like"Lijie","arthralgia syndrome",and"gout".Conversely,modem medical practitioners classify it as"turbid bi"and"Gaozhuo",among others.Western medicine approaches to treating HUA often involve singular methods with potential toxic and side effects.In contrast,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),guided by holistic principles and dialectical treatment theories,offers the advantage of multifaceted effects and a broad spectrum of therapeutic targets.This paper aims to review recent research in the application of TCM for the treatment of HUA,providing a foundational basis for clinical diagnosis,treatment,and further investigations in this field.
