Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. However, only creatinine level is mentioned. There is no mention of either urea or uric acid level. By simply saying high, I do not get any idea at all. The drug mentioned is used to reduce urea levels so that there is urea related issue like gout. If you have any other doubts please do come back. The person needs to avoid foods containing high purines like sea foods, organ meat plus avoid colas, packaged juices. Thanks.

High urea and bun with normal creatinine is usually due to poor fluid intake. Increase fluid intake to about 2 - 2.5 litres per day and recheck after 2 weeks. Febustat has no impact on urea or bun.

No need for drugs if no gout.
