How should asymptomatic hyperuricemia be treated?

With anti-inflammatory drugs
With daily exercise
Not treated with drugs
With surgery

The correct answer is: Not treated with drugs

Asymptomatic hyperuricemia is a condition where the levels of uric acid in the blood are higher than normal, but the individual does not experience any symptoms. In this case, treatment is not necessary as the elevated levels of uric acid do not cause any health problems. Therefore, options A (anti-inflammatory drugs), B (daily exercise), and D (surgery) are incorrect as they are not relevant to this condition and may even cause harm. It is important to note that if hyperuricemia becomes symptomatic and causes conditions like gout, then treatment may be necessary.
