Itching on legs

My mom is a diabetic and suffers from pain in knees and migraine and is undergoing a general treatment. Recently in march, in her regular 3 monthly test we found her creatinine level goes up to 1.36 and we were tensed. Our doctor suggested to have another test after a month and drink more water as he presumed it could be because of urine infection. Later in April we conducted the test again and the creatinine level was 1.23 and uric acid 6.4. She was also having itching on her leg and feet. But later again in June the report came clean, creatinine at 1.1 but uric acid 6.6. She's having so much of itching on her legs and redness and red/black patches on legs.. we don't know if it is because of kidney issue or what? Recently doctor also gave alegra for 3 days but still the itching and redness is there.. it is very bad when she works while standing and itching become very severe.. feet used to swell also but recently it is not.. pls help if anything to worry about. Reports attached..

UREA AND CREATININE

Good morning. My mother age 63 is a diabetic patient and recently started with BP medicines as well. In March she was admitted due to severe dehydration and e-coli UTI infection. Creatinine was 4.1 and urea 81. After treatment her creatinine has come down to 3.0 and blood urea 55. Again on July 10 th test was done. She had severe watery loose motions. Her creatinine now is 3.0 but blood urea 92. Does loose motions increase blood urea ? ELECTROLYTES potassium is 5.6 remaining within normal limits. Thank you
