I'm so sorry Lucy has been diagnosed with kidney and liver disease. Unfortunately I would need to know a little more about her particular case in order to give more specific advice on treatment and prognosis. Acute kidney injury can be caused by toxins or infections, and with aggressive IV fluid therapy and hospitalization sometimes the kidneys can recover full function. Chronic kidney disease happens more slowly, and while diet changes and monitoring for secondary problems like high blood pressure can help slow the progression of disease there is no cure. ALT and cholesterol can increase for a number of different reasons - gastrointestinal infections, pancreatic disease, and liver and gallbladder infections would be a few. It seems like her kidney disease is likely more significant at this point. If you have more specific questions you can consider starting a consultation with an expert or repost your question with a little more detail about her history and current treatments.
