Elevated blood creatinine and uric acid levels can be managed with the following medications: 1. **Uric acid-lowering drugs**: Such as allopurinol and febuxostat, which inhibit uric acid production; and benzbromarone, which promotes uric acid excretion, thereby reducing blood uric acid levels. 2. **Creatinine-lowering drugs**: Depending on the degree of elevation, traditional Chinese medicines such as Uradetox Granules (尿毒清颗粒), Shennaining (肾衰宁), oxidized starch with aldehyde groups (包醛氧淀粉), and Shenkang Suppository (肾康栓) may be selected. These medications help reduce blood creatinine levels. All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a physician, as different drugs have different indications and contraindications and must be selected based on the patient's specific condition. Additionally, medication is only one part of disease management. Patients should also focus on dietary control, appropriate exercise, and other lifestyle modifications to comprehensively manage their condition.
