High renal uric acid is a condition caused by kidney problems in the human body, leading to increased levels of uric acid in the blood. If not promptly addressed, excessively high uric acid levels may damage the kidneys, joints, cardiovascular system, and nervous function. Patients with severe high renal uric acid should, under medical treatment, properly control their diet to maintain uric acid levels within the normal range and alleviate their condition. King oyster mushrooms can help lower uric acid because they contain terpenoid compounds that catalyze uric acid reduction, helping regulate the body's uric acid levels and reducing symptoms in patients with high renal uric acid. However, it is recommended that patients with high renal uric acid consume king oyster mushrooms only under the guidance and supervision of a physician. Especially for patients who also have other conditions such as diabetes, elevated blood glucose, or high blood pressure, medical evaluation and appropriate treatment are advised to maintain good overall health.
