Hyperuricemia is a condition of excessive levels of uric acid in the blood.
This can occur due to an overproduction of uric acid and a lack of uric acid
excretion, which is characterized by high uric acid levels (> 7 mg/dL). If it
happens continuously, gout arthritis will occur. In Garut Arboretum, there are
many plants that can be used as antihyperuricemia such as jamblang (Syzigium
cumini), Kersen (Muntingia calabura L.), Kayu manis (Cinnamomum burmanii),
pucuk merah (Syzigium myrrtifolium), salam (Syzigium polyanthum), temu putih
(Curcuma zedoaria) and sirsak (Annona muricata L). This journal review
discusses the antihyperuricemia activity of several plants in Garut Arboretum.
The method used was literature study of several journals obtained from google
scholar, science direct, elsevier, etc. The results showed that several plants have
antihyperuricemia activity and among those plants, the salam leaves (S.
polyanthum) have the highest reducing effect on blood uric acid with reducing
percentage of 79,35%. Salam leaves have the best potential for
antihyperuricemia, so this plant is suggested to be developed in the Garut
Arboretum.
