Hello,

You may be having some kidney problems for sure. Are you sure your creatine and urea are measured? Are you sure your proteins and albumin measured? Any proteinuria?

Kindly give us the details of your entire test, so that we can have some pictures of yours. Your case is an admission case in the hospital, if possible kindly get admitted and get evaluated and they might treat you with furosemide for that edema. With this online consultation, it is impossible treat you correctly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
