There is not much choice. These are common medicines used to control serum uric acid.
Please discuss your doubts with your doctor.
Try to control it with low protein diet.

Asked for male, 59 years old from Pune

My wife had uncontrolled urine problem, especially in winter. She is diabetic, mild hypertensive and on telmisartan (telday 40) and metformin. We visited our diabetes doctor and he suggested to do sonography. Sonography reported 'renal parenchyma the doctor then suggested urine test. The urine test showed high protein. The blood test showed uric acid in blood. The doctor suggested febustat 40 tabs. We went to nephrologist. He prescribed telmisartan 40 mg. He said go to urologist. We found that there is nothing like urologist but all are uro surgeons. We went to uro surgeon, who said go back to nephrologist. There is nothing from his side to explain or prescribe as he is surgeon. This is not surgical case. Ridiculous. I want to know why there is uric acid in the blood? Is it related to some kidney problem or anything else? I also need to know what is the remedy to permanently stop uric acid high levels? Febustat is symptomatic relief. This cannot be stopped as after stopping the blood report goes back to positive uric acid. Also let me know if there is any such speciality as urologist or uro surgeon himself is called urologist.

Urologist and uro surgeon are same.
High uric acid is not only due to kidney problem. Uric acid is produced as a byproduct of purine metabolism and is normally found in blood. It is excreted by kidneys. High uric acid in blood may be due to its overproduction or may due to inability of kidneys to excrete it.
Fabuxostat is a medicine prescribed commonly to reduce uric acid in blood.
Your description is not clear.

Asked for male, 46 years old from Mysore

Sir /madam, I get joint pains sometimes. The pain will be in one or two minor joints. Rarely I had pain in Major Joint like Knee. Very rarely I had pain in the big toe. My observation is I get pain whenever I eat High Purine foods. If I do not take High Purine foods, I will be almost alright. My uric acid level has never exceeded 5.0. One magic thing that occurs to me is, if I take 80 mg of Febuxostat immediately (that is within 30 mins) after eating High Purine foods, I will not get the joint pain next day. If I take Febuxostat after 30 mins of consuming High Purine Foods I am sure to get joint pain next day. My feet swelling occurs if I eat potatoes and sweet potatoes. Is it gout without hyperuricemia. What is the remedy for this. Ghee is suppose to be good for joint pain in general. But in my case, even two drops of Ghee causes, joint pain next day. Ghee almost acts like a high purine food for me. Is my condition gout without hyperuricemia. What is the remedy? How do you explain my sensitivity to ghee and potatoes.

Avoid Squatting-
Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.

For acute exacerbations take nsaid's. Febustat is only for reducing uric acid level and takes many weeks for it to act.

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The main reason for weakness is uncontrolled diabetes. The reported levels are too high. With high blood levels a lot of glucose is lost in the urine, which is the main reason for tired feeling. You may also be having some urinary infection (?) and creatinine is also a bit high. All this can be a consequence of uncontrolled diabetes. There is no mention about BP readings, Lipid profile and weight and height. Plus do you exercise daily? If yes what is the t...more

The gall stones are in no way related to the prostate. It is better to treat silent gall stones when they are silent and not during an acute attack. This is done laparoscopically. The prostate needs to be investigated in detail. I do lap choley and TUR prostate together at one sittingif the patient is fit as it avoids another operation. Both procedures are minimally invasive

Your medications are correct. Apply ice to the joints. Give rest. Increase water intake. Along with low purine diet. Check your uric acid levels again after 15 days. If they have decreased, you are on correct path. Continue same. You will be normal in a month.
