Hello!
your mother is unfortuantely suffering from uremic encephalopathy with uremic seizures. she must be having a high range of creatinine and urea in the blood which has reached to the brain and causing seizures. dialysis is the only treatment at this stage and she would be needing this regularly with other oral supportive medications.
Thanks
