Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for this high level of serum creatinine & sugar level, these includes.
1 Chronic renal failure, diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of both KIDNEYS with M R I . Also confirmed by examination of blood urea level. As your mother is a diabetic patient and puffiness over face is an indication of renal failure.
2 Elevated level of blood sugar is not due to wysolone ( prednisolone) , however puffiness over face may be due to retention of water as a side effect of steroid.
3 Weakness in the legs may be due to anemia or hypoproteinaemia . Diagnosis can be confirmed by examination of hemoglobin and protein level.
In my opinion consult an urologist and get his opinion.
Good luck for your mother.
