What Causes Fluid Retention In The Abdomen And Legs?
I had a blood panel done because I have been retaining fluid in my abdomen, legs and feet. I have been taking a diuretic. The blood panel showed the diuretics are working. The doctor said my kidneys are having to work a little to hard and are pulling off too much good water . What does that mean?
