Infection in blood and High creatinine
My mother Aged 58 years , diabetic patient was suffering from fever for almost 1 month. Her blood test shown infection which has gone with medicine. After few days again she started to develop fever and shivering. Further she develop pain in one side of her back along with nausea. Her tests suggested increase in creatinine and Urea levels. Her CT scan doesn't reflected anything In kidney but blood test shown infection.
Now after 2 weeks of antibiotics medication her condition has not improved much and today again in her CT scan nothing is detected in her kidneys. Than doctor advised for PET scan that is also normal but her urine report is reflecting urine infection. Kindly suggest for future course of action as her Urea and creatinine parameters are not improving much and doctor is unable to trace the source causing infection in the blood.

Please decode the attached prescription
My mother is 47 years old and her Creatinine level is 1.52 mg/dl, Potassium - 4.6 meg/L and Vitamin D3 -19.58 ng/ml. She's prediabetic. We've consulted a nephrologist and she's under his medications. I wanted to understand what the doctor wrote in the attached prescription.
Moreover, she also has Anechoic Cyst measuring 15.9 mm in upper pole of her right kidney and also a nabothian cyst of size 11mm in her cervix. Are these cysts matter of concern?
Thank You!
