Hi thanks for asking question.
Apart from facial edema there is no other complaint present regarding kidney condition.
Here if you want to rule out kidney condition then her protein level in urine has to be detected to rule out proteinuria.
If protein present then chances of minimal change disease like nephrotic syndrome or glomerulonephritis.
Both these case will response to steroid like drug.
Although chances of kidney affection is less it is better to test for proteinuria along with blood pressure estimation.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
Wish you good health
