Hello,

With such high creatinine and BUN she is already in serious kidney failure. In such situation dialysis is the only option. Because conditions like diabetes and hypertension if not well controlled are actually the precipitating causes for end stage kidney disease(EKD). You may not want dialysis but in this situation that is the only option that can help along with controlling of blood glucose and BP> Plus she has to be on insulin only for diabetes control as her kidneys are not in a state manage any metabolites of oral drugs. Please get an early dialysis done. Once improvement occurs then other options can be considered.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
