Persistent swelling in the feet, ankles, or face can be a sign of kidney disease, as the kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance. When kidney function declines, excess fluid and waste accumulate in the body, leading to edema (swelling). At Anil Baghi Hospital, our expert nephrologist Dr. Nitasha Kalra provide advanced kidney function testing, diagnosis, and treatment to prevent complications and preserve kidney health.
Causes of Swelling in Feet & Face (Nephrology-Related):
🔹 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) – Impaired kidney function causes fluid retention.
🔹 Nephrotic Syndrome – Kidney disorder leading to protein loss and swelling.
🔹 Glomerulonephritis – Inflammation of kidney filters, causing fluid buildup.
🔹 High Blood Pressure & Diabetes – Major risk factors for kidney-related swelling.
🔹 Electrolyte Imbalance – Low protein or excess sodium intake worsens swelling.
Symptoms That Require Immediate Medical Attention:
✔ Sudden or Severe Swelling – In feet, legs, face, or around the eyes.
✔ Foamy Urine – A sign of protein loss due to kidney dysfunction.
✔ Reduced Urine Output – Difficulty in passing urine or dark-colored urine.
✔ Unexplained Fatigue & Weakness – Due to toxin buildup in the blood.
✔ High Blood Pressure & Shortness of Breath – Indicating kidney strain.
