Her condition is complex due to multiple health issues. Mild changes in urine are not unusual in such cases. Maintaining comfort, hydration, and close monitoring are the main goals now. Kidney function tests and regular blood pressure checks are recommended to help guide further care, especially if recent results are not available.
