Hello
Thanks for query.Based on your statement your mother has raised creatinine levels and has been on Dialysis .

Urea and creatinine are end products of protein metabolism that are excrete by the kidney in urine .

The creatinine levels goes on increasing due to chronic paranchymal disease

Unfortunately Nephrons which is main functioning unit of kidney that excretes these end products in urine do not regenerate once they are damaged in disease process .Hence one has to continue Dialysis to eliminate these waste products out of the body .

It is unlikely that serum creatinine(11) would come down with dietary regime or by medications to the level so that you can avoid Dialysis .
