Abstract
Human organ tissue is vulnerable to hyperuricemia (HUA), which negatively impacts quality of life, particularly when it progresses to gout. Chicken uric acid formation and metabolism are similar to human uric acid metabolism; therefore, theoretically, the genesis and progression of human HUA and gout may be similar to those of poultry models. The present review explored HUA and gout and the progress of poultry‑induced HUA and gout models. The present study reviewed procedures of modelling chicken gout and HUA and the detection indices and current concerns regarding these models. Notably, In the production of poultry hyperuricemia model, the combined method of water and food induction has a higher success rate and stability. Compared with mice induced HUA and gout models, poultry induced HUA and gout models had less kidney damage, and the models were stable and long‑lasting.
