Background and Objective: Hyperuricemia is a disease triggered by disorders of uric acid metabolism. Therefore, this study evaluated the potential of leaves ethanolic extract of Etlingera hemisphaerica (LE3H) and fruits ethanolic extract E. hemisphaerica (FE3H) to restore hyperuricemia in mice. Materials and Methods: Six groups (A0, A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5) each consisted of four male mice. Hyperuricemia in mice was induced by giving 0.3 mL of fresh chicken liver juice (FCLJ) for seven days (A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5). The condition of hyperuricemia in A1 is not neutralized. Meanwhile, hyperuricemia conditions in A2, A3, A4 and A5 were neutralized for seven days by giving 0.01 mg g–1 body weight (BW) allopurinol, 0.13, 0.26 and 0.36 mg g–1 BW LE3H. The control group (A0) only received double-distilled water in the same way. Blood uric acid levels were measured with the GCU Meter Device before and after the induction of hyperuricemia and after efforts to neutralize the hyperuricemia condition. Six groups (B0, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5) each consisting of four male mice were also provided to test the potential of FE3H. The recovery potential FE3H against hyperuricemia was tested separately in the same way as was done for LE3H. Results: Giving FCLJ significantly increased (140.00-187.00%) uric acid compared to the control, so hyperuricemia was achieved. Doses of 0.13, 0.26 and 0.36 mg g–1 BW LE3H significantly recovered hyperuricemia as much as 54.09, 56.14 and 60.88%, respectively. Meanwhile, doses of 0.13, 0.26 and 0.36 mg g–1 FE3H significantly recovered hyperuricemia as much as 60.37, 62.24 and 65.572%, respectively. The LE3H and FE3H at the same dose showed that FE3H had a higher potential to restore hyperuricemia than LE3H. Conclusion: Leave and fruit ethanolic extract of E. hemisphaerica can potentially restore hyperuricemia in mice.
