[Dietetic aspects of preventing urolithiasis in patients with gout and uric acid diathesis].

Patients suffering from gout and uric acid diathesis received a specialized diet containing 70 g protein (85% of plant protein including 20 g of soybean protein isolate), 85 g fat and 350 g carbohydrates. As a result there was an improvement of the general well-being during dietetic management, a rise of pH of the urine to normal, a decrease in the concentration of uric acid in blood serum and urine with a simultaneous elevation of the latter's clearance, an increase in glomerular filtration, a reduction in blood cholesterol content. The data obtained allow the conclusion to be made about the necessity of the rigid observance of the diet by the patients. This will play an important role both in the treatment and prophylaxis of urolithiasis in the patients' population under consideration.
