Q. Why are my uric acid levels always high?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• It is advisable to get the liver and kidney function tests done after a week, as these drugs alter the test results.

I saw your reports (attachment removed to protect patient's identity).

• Your renal function tests are abnormal. You need to consult a nephrologist with these reports.

• Your liver function test may be abnormal secondary to the drug effects.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• Increased uric acid is the result of increased metabolism by the body. It can be elevated in gout also.

• If it is not evaluated within a week, it can be harmful.

• I suggest you do the following investigations:

1. RFT (renal function test).
2. Uric acid.
3. eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate).

• I suggest you take tablet Feburic (Febuxostat) 40 mg, once a day for seven days, tablet Shelcal (elemental Calcium and Vitamin D3) 500 mg, twice a day for 10 days and capsule Laretol (Calcitriol) 0.25, once a day for 10 days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent.

Revert after 15 days with the reports.
