Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Eptoin (phenytoin) is a fairly safe and effective medicine for epilepsy.
High urea and creatinine in blood indicates a renal (kidney) problem, and is not related to eptoin.
Please show her to a nephrologist (kidney specialist) to determine the cause for her kidney problem.
Best wishes,
