Brief Answer:
Get MRI done
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up.
PSA is also raised in following conditions
1) Benign Enlargement of Prostate with secondary UTI
2) Acute prostatitis
In such conditions we prescribe antibiotics and Dutasteride for a week or two These drug reduce PSA as the congestion of prostate and infection subsides ,However when ever the PSA reading are high ( More than normal value of 4) as detected on two successive blood tests done at the interval of month or two it is the international protocol to be suspected to be due to Cancer of Prostate which demands either CT guided or MRI guided biopsy of Prostate which is the most confirmative tests to confirm the diagnosis of Cancer of Prostate so that further treatment can be planned out,
Hope this will resolve your doubts .

Taking whisky does not increase Urea and Creatinine.

His creatinine and Urea is raised due to burden over a single kidney (His one kidney being removed earlier ) or due to infection which needs to be investigated .
Is he diabetic?

Brief Answer:
Raised level of Urea and Creatinine indicate deranged kidney function .
Detailed Answer:
hello
Thanks for follow up .
Urea and Creatinine are end products of protein and muscle metabolism of the body and excreted through urine, however level of these products in blood is raised whenever kidney is unable to excrete these products in urine either due to paranchymal disease of the kidney or some other pathology.
In your husbands case the kidney function is compromised mostly due to over load over the remaining kidney after removal of other kidney.
The present readings of urea and creatinine of your husband are not alarming and in acceptable range ,However he would need to observe it and monitor the same at frequent intervals .
Thanks and Regards.
