Nephrologist,  's  Response
No we don't generally treat uric acid level if the patient doesn't have any symptoms, below level of 8...in your mother's case she is CKD stage 5 on maintainance hemodialysis patients and pedal swelling most likely because of fluid overload, not because of increased uric acid... So restrict her fluid intake 1-1.2 litre daily and at this point of time febuget is not required..
