Abstract

Hyperuricemic is a condition in which uric acid level in blood exceeds its normal level. Empirically, African leaves (Vernonia amygdalina Delile.) were used to treat diabetic, hypercholesterolemic, fever, hypertension and hyperuricemic by drinking boiled water of African leaves. This in vivo study was performed to determine antihyperuricemic activity of ethanolic extract of African leaves on male mice using the POCT (Point of Care Testing) method. Suspension combination of melinjo and chicken liver juice were used as hyperuricemic inductor. It is given orally for consecutive 9 days and the uric acid level were tested on day 1, 3, 6, and 9. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of African leaves (Vernonia amygdalina Delile.) at dosage 100, 200, and 400 mg/KgBW had a significantly different antihyperuricemic activity against negative control.
