Hello,
I just read your query. The symptoms you have mentioned here are suggestive of kidney dysfunction. You need to perform kidney function tests( blood urea, serum creatinine) of your mother and consult a nearby reputed nephrologist, on basis of tests he can prescribe you the treatmemt and can advice you whether she need to perform more tests.
* Sometimes the changes are reversible and with the help of medications she can revert back to normal condition, sometimes kidney might be damaged more than expected and she may require dialysis.
* So do consult a nephrologist as soon as possible.
* I hope you find my answer helpful.
Thank you.
