What Is It When Pitting Edema Causes Itching And Dark Urine?
Helo…In the past couple of weeks I have gained 15 lbs, have bad pitting edema from knee to toes in both legs, and that part itches very bad. Last year i had an onset of itching throughout my whole body and really dark urine but everything with my liver looked normal. But what could be going on now?

HI,
The Symptoms you had last year were itching with dark urine and liver was normal.
This year you have pitting edema with & itching. Local itching you have can be due to over stretching of skin.
Pitting edema can be due to,
- Skin conditions like Insect bites/vericose veins/thrombophlebitis/ skin infections.
- severe anemia,Kidney /liver/heart disorder.
It needs to be investigated widely under a physician's guidance.
Thanks.
