Hello Dipac and thanks for writing in at HCM
I have read your mail in detail and wants to help you out. Both the medication you are taking either Zyloric of febuget are used to lower the Uric acid level. Also these medication produces more urine and if your liquid intake is less than your S. Creatinine level may be raised due to this. But needs to be proved. Get Hydrated in 1-2 days completely and than repeat your test again but do Complete Renal function test so that we can also know about Blood urea also.
As your have multiple reports for S. uric acid, their is possibility of lab error also. Trust one lab and get all test done from their.
Other diagnosis about increased S. Creatinine can be made after take complete history. Wants to know about: urine output per day? Liquid intake per day? Daily activity? Burning maturation or not? any pain in abdomen? Peripheral edema?
Get your test done and answer all my queries related to history so that i can give you a detailed and clear answer.
Till the diagnosis established stop the medication by consulting your doctor and keep yourself hydrated.
Best Wishes
