Hello,

Kidney failure leads to fluid accumulation in the body and subsequent cardiac failure. Consult a cardiologist and get evaluated, drugs like diuretics will be effective.

Underlying kidney disease must be treated to correct the cardiac abnormalities. Treatment options like hemo dialysis or kidney transplant must be considered.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
