Creatinine, thyroid function tests, fasting sugar and ecg should be done annually and bp check at regular intervals other tests are less useful febuget is required only for those with gout. It’s not very helpful if taken just for blood level. In your case uric acid rise is side effect of bp medicines. Better to change bp medicines than to add medicines similarly many people are prescribed thyroid medicine for elevation of tsh in blood. Always better to keep long term medicines minimum necessary.
