Hello I'm concerned for my mom.. she is a diabetic and has been diagnosed with renal failure since last January... She was admitted to the hospital for a kidney stone which she was able to pass... she received a blood transfusion there and was also put on insulin... since then her health has been worstening... now her primary care physician said she needs dialysis cause her kidneys are working at 12%.. she looks jaundacy and she feels cold more often to the point of shivers, she's not eating right and not sleeping her 8 or even 6 hours... please advise me if I need to bring her in to the ER

Please do take her to the ER. This is one time I feel that the ER is appropriate.
