Brief Answer:
Consult qualified Nephrologist and Dietitian
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your mother in law has been diagnosed to have Chronic Parenchymal Kidney disease secondary to Diabetic nephropathy and high-grade Cancer of Bladder
As regards her recent raised Creatinine levels of 5.7, I would suggest you be under constant supervision of qualified Nephrologist at regular intervals.
Reducing protein and salt intake to optimum levels and control of her diabetes are the main key factors in the management of Diabetic Nephropathy.
Considering the high-grade cancer of bladder which has a tendency to spread faster there is nothing much that can be done but to offer her a major surgical procedure like Radical Cystectomy at this age.
I would suggest you consult a qualified dietitian to chart out her food intake planning that will suit her health. Dietitian would be the best person to chart out her diet, vegetables, type of fruits, protein intake as per her daily caloric needs and to keep her creatinine and urea level at reasonably accepted levels.
Hope I have answered your query, please feel free to ask if you have more questions, I shall be happy to help you.
Thanks.
Regards,
Dr. Patil
