Hello
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. Swelling in limbs along with back pain in the sides is suggestive of kidney disease. Patients with diabetes, hypertension, cardiac diseases, liver or lung diseases show sudden deterioration in kidney function.
It is advisable to seek medical help at the earliest possible. At ER doctor will take up medical history, examine and test kidney function along with other carrying other relevant based on need. Vitals will be monitored and based on test results treatment will be initiated. Good luck. Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
