This section is a part of the chapter: Helicobacter pylori and Hyperuricemia: Revisiting Gout Diagnosis in Young Adults with Normal Renal Function
Thirty-three patients aged between 31-40 years, having normal kidney function and a frank history of H. pylori dyspepsia were included in the study due to newly discovered elevated levels of serum uric acid regardless of their body built or any associated. The existence of colonic H. pylori strains was proved by the H. pylori fecal antigen test. All patients underwent colon clear employing the potent natural senna purge once and colon care was maintained by vinegar-mixed food therapy for one week. Serum uric acid levels dropped to normal within 3 days after the colon cleared in 30 patients while the remaining 3 patients showed the same drop at the end of the first week of natural therapy. Detection of high levels of uric acid in young adults should not be considered as a final diagnosis of pre-gouty illness unless kidney function is assessed, and the association of H. pylori is excluded by specific tests. Revision of the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori and many chronic diseases associated with it may be needed.
