Swelling In The Limbs After Taking Treatment For Renal Problem. High Urea And Creatinine Levels. Need Alternate Treatment

Hi, I'm a patient age of 62 years having a renal problem.I was going through treatment having some medication taken.after I have finished my course, both lower limbs and tummy got swollen and increase in weight. I went to medical lab where renal routine test was done and my results shown that my creatinine level and urea level were high.my creatinine was around 7.
I am now admitted and went for dialysis two days before,hopefully my reading level drops a bit.but today morning I went for lab test but my creatinine level and urea increases again.
My question is what do you suggest as a treatment for me.is my situation can be said having a kidney disfuction or I will stay on dialysis.
