(RO/EN/RU) Dr. Perlmutter's latest book, "Drop Acid", focuses on the essential role of uric acid in metabolic diseases, published in February 2022. In Functional Medicine, serum Uric Acid levels are regulated as a metabolic problem. The kidneys cannot excrete enough uric acid, which in turn accumulates, because it is a metabolic problem related to: Insulin Resistance High Triglyceride Levels - both leading to fatty LIVER = hepatic steatosis High Homocysteine Levels Dehydration (increased Na levels) Avoid beer, hard drinks, sugar, juices and sweet, starchy drinks, limit the amount of fruit. Insulin Resistance and High Triglycerides - Can Be Lowered Easily by Fasting. Dr. Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author. He is on the Board of Directors and a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition.

Variation of Serum Uric Acid Is Associated With Gut Microbiota in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... This study indicates that targeting the gut microbiome could help manage elevated uric acid levels. The study analyzed data from over 1,000 people and found that people with higher uric acid levels had a different composition of their gut microbiota than people with lower uric acid levels. The study also found that people with high uric acid levels had lower levels of various Clostridia bacteria, including C. cylindrosporum. People with abnormal uric acid levels also had lower levels of Faecalibacterium, another bacterium in the Clostridia genus known to produce butyrate (a beneficial SCFA). Hypothesis: Based on these findings, the authors speculate that C. cylindrosporum and Faecalibacterium may play a crucial role in uric acid metabolism in the gut. They may help regulate uric acid levels by using it as an energy source.
