Good day!
Is your wife diabetic ? Infection in the kidneys may cause it to temporary shutdown and if the creatinine is rising with subsequent increase in her potassium level, she may need temporary dialysis so remove the toxins in her body. Usually the kidneys will recover in a few weeks and renal function will be examined again if she can be weaned off dialysis.
I would suggest and imaging modality like a ct scan or an ultrasound to check if there is an anatomical abnormality that brought her tne bladder and kidney infection. Things to watch for in the ct scan is hydronephrosis or stones in the kidneys and ureter.
