My aunt is 55 years old and recently her left foot began to swell with pain. She has had this issue before, which was previously caused by raised uric acid levels, but this time her uric acid is not significantly elevated. She is also taking medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, and hypothyroidism. The pain and swelling are not improving with the medicines she previously used, including FURIC 40 for uric acid and Nucoxia 90 for pain and swelling. Her recent thyroid function test results are TSH 2.32 microIU/mL, T3 1.13 nmol/L, and T4 165.80 nmol/L. I am also uploading her lipid profile and uric acid test reports. Kindly review and advise on the possible cause and next steps for treatment.

If uric acid is normal, swelling may be due to arthritis, venous insufficiency, or neuropathy. Further joint evaluation is needed.

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?
