She is CKD patient. She is not feeling hungry because she is having trouble breathing properly.
If that is the case, then you must take her to your nephrologist. He will put her on a slow dialysis, where you can remove more fluid, making it easier for her to eat and drink.
There are many facts, I will need to know to tell you anything else
Health Tips
Go through her nephrology consultation, prescription. there may be information you need to know.

Many patients of renal disease on dialysis lose their appetite,sometimes due to loss of taste.simple changes to the diet like adding a little lemon or herbs can improve taste and therefore appetite
Next Steps
ask if she gets bitter/metallic/or loss of taste and revert.accordingly diet can be modified.
