Hello,
Next thing is she should undergo renal and liver function test, serum albumin levels, echocardiography of heart to look for the cause.
She should consume low salt diet and water restrictions. She should also be started on medicine like Tab Dytor 5 mg once a day in the morning. Get potassium levels five days after starting this medicine. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
