Hi,

need to do BP checked, ECG, blood urea, nitrogen, S. creatinine, albumins, globulins, LFT tests. This will tell what exact pathology is behind [if taking CVS drugs or renal or on dialysis those can do edema few of them and salt etc.]

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
