Urea , creatinine value is slightly more than normal.one has to find the cause of the condition.raised values are only effect due to more retention of nitrogenous waste products in body normally kept low in body by kidneys
Renal disease may be acute onset (short duration)or chronic(long duration).
Consult a nephrologist to find the cause and treatment of the cause is treatment of raised values
