Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having severe swelling of my legs, lower and feet for long while now and sometimes hands. I now am having even more swelling than usual that is occurring even when I wake up in the morning. I have been told by my regular physician that I have only 60% kidney function. Would this swelling be the cause of my swelling? If so, why won t my doctor give me something for it or should I see another Doctor?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is really renal disease then it need to be properly investigated and this may need several test for confirmation of renal functions if this is not the renal disease then other cause of swelling need to be found out, you have not given information about your age and gender else something more specific could be found out, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
