You need to take you mother to a Nephrologist ASAP.
That's the best advice I can give. I hover on the cusp of stage 3 and 4 and consider myself extremely lucky to live close to Mayo in Arizona. You might want to explore Peritoneal Dialysis which is done at home and does not use the veins in your arm,

We were told the fastest way to see a nephrologist is by going to the ER BUT she wasn’t seen by any when she was hospitalized in April for high potassium and her eGFR was below 15. We have seen two Nephrologists in the past weeks. We are trying to get a consultation with a vascular surgeon to evaluate mom for home dialysis. She seems very much herself except for being a bit more tired.
