Recurrent effusion with negative arthritis markers may be due to mechanical causes or crystal arthropathy. Consider synovial fluid analysis and rheumatology follow up.

Question

Hello, I am diabetic. My treatment has started and the doctor has prescribed medicine for high uric acid, which was present in my report. I was also asked to do a urine creatinine test. I want to know if, after taking proper diet and medicine, it can be reversed or not? Will it worsen or remain constant? Are there chances of creatinine level decreasing?
