What Causes Flank Pain, Low Urine Output And Edema?

Went to an Urgent Care to have a deep splinter removed from toe along with a Tetanus shot. 3 days later started having really bad flank pain (both sides). Low urine out put and edema in feet, hands, and face. Not sure if the these symptoms are related to the original problem, but felt I would mention it. From what I have researched so far, appears to be renal failure. Please advise thank you. 46 year old female, 5' 5", 160lbs. hypertension, 25mg. Cozaar bid.

Nephrologist,  's  Response
According to your history you are suffering from Renal failure as you rightly mentioned. But I believe problem of your leg could be the resaon because infection of limbs called cellulitis is associated with sepsis that lead to kidney involvement. One more rare reason could be if you used pain killers for your leg problem, it lead to a condition called papillary necrosis. Consult nephrologist on urgent basis.All the best.If you have any questions feel free to consult me.
