Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
You have increased urea , creatinine and having positive history of prostate cancer. ...
Although urea , creat can be elevated in prerenal and post renal cause here renal cause Seems most likely for elevation of such high level ....
As you have cancer history there might be metastatic renal involvement secondary to prostate cancer. ..
So USG and biopsy might needed if metastasis has to be ruled out ....
If needed post operative chemotherapy or radiotherapy for prostate cancer might started ...
If renal cause not there than urethral obstruction secondary to compression by prostate might be cause. .
Consult urosurgeon for further work up and examination ...
Take care ....
