Hyperuricemia and the gut microbiota: current research hotspots and future trends.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hyperuricemia (HUA), found widely in humans and birds, is a key physiological factor responsible for the development of gout. In recent years, the relationship between the gut microbiota and HUA has garnered significant attention from researchers. This study aims to explore the current research hotspots, knowledge gaps, and future research trends regarding the gut microbiota and HUA.

Methods

We performed a thorough search of the literature on gut flora and HUA published between 2005 and 2024 using the Web of Science and PubMed databases. The resulting data were analyzed using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix.

Results

Including 735 papers in total, the study found that the number of publications in the subject increased significantly between 2020 and 2
