Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have gone through the details. It looks like kidney dysfunction as her creatinine is high. Next action would be to get blood urea and electrolytes. Start on diuretics to increase urine output. A kidney biopsy may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. In case she is not responding to medicines, dialysis is the treatment.

I hope this answered your query.
