Does Kidney Disorders Make Legs Extremely Swollen?

My legs are extremely swollen. My blood pressure is 150/100. I am 5 foot 2 inches at 185 pounds. I had a stroke less than a year ago from an AVM for a total of 3 craniotomies. I have a VP shunt for hydrochephalus from the stroke. Should I be concerned? My kidney function lab work was elevated slightly about a month agoo.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You are swollen leg. It can be due to kidney disorder or cardiac disorder. You should go for complete kidney function test as well as echocardiography once. You also need to control your blood pressure because diastolic blood pressure of 100 is very high. SO consult your doctor and t accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
