Nephrologist,  's  Response
Her ultrasound findings are suggestive of chronic kidney disease (CKD) however there are many tests which are needed to confirm it.
1) Hemoglobin and CBC
2) Kidney Function Tests
3) Urine routine and 24 hours urinary proteins
4) HbA1c levels
5) ECG
6) Echocardilography
Also the sugar levels in ascitic fluid are very high indicating that her diabetes is uncontrolled.
Accumulation of fluid in abdomen can be a part of diabetic kidney disease as well as of associated heart disease.
All these reports are required to know that.
Meanwhile, she shouls reduce her sugar, salt and water intake and take medicines like Lasix or Dytor if not taking already.
Should get in touch of a nephrologist in your city.
