Abstract Background : Gout or uric acid is the result product of purine metabolism, as one of the constituents of nucleic acids. Nucleic acids in the cell nucleus are one of the components contained in purines and the cause of uric acid formation. High uric acid levels can be prevented with green tea, which contains antioxidants that can reduce inflammation. Objective: To know the effect of giving green tea on lowering uric acid levels.
Methods: An experimental study was conducted involving 30 participants aged ≥25 years and male, divided into a treatment group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The treatment group consumed 240 ml of green tea twice daily for one week, while the control group received no intervention. Total cholesterol levels were measured using capillary blood and cholesterol test strips pre- and post-intervention. Data analysis was performed using the paired t-test.
Result: The treatment group showed a significant decrease in uric acid levels (mean before treatment: 5.88 mg/dL; after treatment: 5.28 mg/dL; p = 0.04). The control group showed a significant increase significant (before treatment: 5.86 mg/dL; after treatment: 6.69 mg/dL; p = 0.02).
Conclusion: Green tea consumption for one week significantly reduced uric acid levels, demonstrating its potential as a natural remedy for managing gout.
