mccollum1, a doctor might want your Mom to do 24-hour collection of her urine to see if there is too much protein.... or it could something as simple as your Mom just isn't drinking enough plain water.
It is fine to post here. For more immediate and professional answers to this kind of question, consider a nurse-help-line. Most insurance companies and some clinic offer a free 24-hour nurse answering service. They are good at asking the right questions and helping you make a decision about ER, urgent care, making an appointment, or waiting for further developments.
I think this is a very useful service that many people are unaware of or overlook.
