Kidney function test

2026-01-16 11:10:46
Kidney function test is showing high Urea and potassium, levels, high cholesterol levels also found in lipid profile. Initially only Uric acid and high lipid profile and recently observed increase in potassium levels too. Could you please suggest if we have to go for any other tests and which specialised doctor to contact with? Rheumatologist is not helping much as he is giving only uric acid medicines , but not able to identify the root cause. Kindly help
