Have UTI, Diabetes Mellitus. Urine Test Shows Pus Cells. Weakness, Loss Of Control Over Legs And Brain. Reason?

My mother aged 71 was admitted to hospital for Urinery tract infection, Diabetes Mellitus and she was treated by Right DJ stenting. she was discharged in a stable haemodynamic condition, after 14/15 days she felt weakness and we consulted Kidney specialist. Her blood/urine test were done which showed Pus cells20-22/HPF, Epithelial cells(+) and doctor recommended 7 dose of INVAZ injection (one daily) after which her condition worsened and she lost her control over legs, brain etc. and her reports showed plenty PUS cells. Why this happened? what should have been the treatment? Please help

Hello,
The most likey cause for symptoms of your mother seem to be due o uncontrolled diabetes resulting in urinary tract infection travelling upwards and causing kidney complications which ultimately might have resulted in renal failure.
Ideally your mother should have received injection insulin for control of her blood sugar along with double antibiotic therapy after getting a proper culture and sensitivity test.
She should be admitted in the hospital and treated in totality by a nephrologist and a diabetologist.
Thanks
