Hello,
Thanks for the question.
These findings and symptoms are suggestive of compromise in kidney function.
Altered kidney function can be underlying cause for her osteopenia as well.
Leg swelling is pedal edema, common associated with kidney issues.
There are many cause which can lead to compromised renal function.Her hydronephrosis and hydroureter can also be underlying cause of decreased kidney function.
Ideal next step would be to see urologist and get further investigations done.After that appropriate treatment can be proposed.She will also need treatment to relieve obstruction which is cause of hydronephrosis and hydroureter.
Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
