Patient: My mother suffer from Chronic renal failure. her age is 72. Hemo Dialysis in weakly thrice. She has taken amlodipien 5mg b.d., Flavedon MR o.d., Livogen b.d., cap.Rocatrol 0.25mg o.d., calcium 500mg, b.d., Tab, sorbitrate 5mg, ing. Eithropoietin 2000i.u weakly twice,These are all useful doses. Now she has swelling the both leg, Doctor prescribed Moxclav 625mg and Acetaminophen 625mg both b.d. dose, To day taken the uric acid test . the present of uric acid is 5.2. Doctor told to me if the uric acid present is more than 7 , you may get tab. Febuget 40mg. may i give the drug Febuget 40mg to my mother? Doctor: 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..
