Hyperuricemia has been noted in several other states of ketosis including ketogenic dietary therapy for convulsive disorders,2 hepatic fructose-i, 6-diphosphatase deficiency,3 and glygen storage disease, type I.4 Five of theents treated with a ketogenis diet developed renal stones.2 All of these entities have in common ketosis and elevated blo lactate and free fatty acid levels; the hyperuricemia is abolished by carbohydrate feeding in all.
