Hyperuricaemia treated with individualised homoeopathy: A case series

Abstract

Hyperuricaemia is defined as an elevated level of uric acid in the blood ≥6 mg/dL in women and ≥7 mg/dL in men. If uric acid levels remain high for a longer period, it can lead to gout and nephrolithiasis. Hyperuricaemia is also closely related to other diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease and chronic renal disease. Treatment is required to prevent further diseases and complications. This is a case series of three patients with hyperuricaemia who were treated with individualised homoeopathic medicines. The improvement was significant, with a reduction in serum uric acid levels and changes in the measure yourself medical outcome profile two scores. The possible causal attribution of changes was explicitly depicted in each case using the modified Naranjo criteria. Homoeopathic medicines such as Ledum palustre, Nux vomica and Lycopodium were found to be useful.
