title: [Outpatient care in uric acid disorders].
abstract: In 35 patients with uricopathy (arthritis urica, essential hyperuricaemia) the serum uric acid values, consumption of alcohol, overweight, hypertension and liver enzyma under dietary and medicamentous therapy (allopurinol) were investigated. Here during an observation lasting 12--48 months allopurinol proved as a well tolerable uricostatic drug which was sufficiently effective also with a considerable exogenic purine application. We only insufficiently succeeded in influencing overweight and alcohol consumption as well as hypertension by rheumatic dispensary care and family doctor.
