What Causes Right Abdominal Pain, Stomach Bloating And Weight Gain?

My sister who is 45 years old has been feeling poorly for a while. She has started gaining weight. She wore a size 12 last week and now she is a size 20. She is having pain in her right abdominal region. She is extremely bloated has developed diabetes, high blood pressure, and was told she now has a fatty liver. She feels like her stomach is going to explode. What should she do? Thank you.

Hello, thank you for query.

Your sister seems to be suffering from generalised oedema may be with peritonial fluid collection in the body,( known as generalised anasarca).Which mainly indicates KIDNEY OR Liver diseaesmay be assciated with other ailments.

To rule out possible conditions please get the following tests done-
Complete thyroid function,abdominal ultrasound, or may be ct abdomen, serum electrolytes (sodium/potassium, calcium, chlorides etc), KIDNEY AND LIVRE FUNCTION TESTS& CARDIAC PROFILE & haemogram

Meanwhile to keep her BP under check, she can use potassium sparring diuretics.Apart from this, it is very important that she follows a bland diet that also has low salt & low sugar.
