title: [Diet in hyperuricemia (author's transl)].
abstract: The idea that, in view of potent drugs, the dietary treatment of a metabolic disease must be reserved for a small group of particularly susceptible patients or even for a minority of neurotically structured patients who would alone be capable of bearing the hardship of a consequent change of accustomed feeding habits needs correction. Considerably greater importance must be attached to dietetics in disorders of uric acid metabolism than formerly, particularly with a view to the status already gained by the dietary treatment of diabetes mellitus a long time ago. Dietetic therapy of familial hyperuricemia and its later clinical manifestation, gout, is a basic therapy of a preventive character. Because today, superiority is increasingly conceded to prophylaxis rather than to the treatment of late sequelae.
