Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i fully share your concern.
Your mother has most probably, diabetic nephropathy, where the person has, diabetes,hypertension and kidney failure, among various other symptoms.
She must get treated by a nephrologist.She should avoid sugar, excess salt(6g/day),low protein diet(40gm/day),and 2000calories/day diet.
She must get her urine protein,blood routine,urea,creatinine,uric acid,sodium,potassium and ultrasound scan of abdomen.After seeing the reports,the nephrologist will be to give an expert treatment.
You may send the reports to me, as a direct question,for an expert opinion.
