In which condition can a low-purine diet be given?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gout
Purines are broken down in the body to form uric acid. In gout, uric acid and urate crystals can accumulate in joints and cause painful inflammation. Limiting high-purine foods may help reduce uric-acid burden as part of medical management, although medicines, hydration, and individual advice are also important. Hypertension, coeliac disease, and lactose intolerance require different dietary approaches.
