What Is The Treatment Of Inflammation In Leg Penis Feet Ankles If Diagnosed Kidney Infection ?

I am concerned about my 50 year old brother who has severe inflammation in his legs, groin, penis, feet and and ankles. His legs are extremely hard. He was recently diagnosed with infection in both kidneys. His heart and lungs and prostate was fine. Can you please tell me what you think could possibly be the problem?

In my opinion its not inflammation its swelling in legs, ankles and penile area you want to say.
The function of our kidneys is to clear our body from toxic material produced and prevent blood sugar and proteins to pass in urine.In case of some kidney diseases and infection kidneys loose these functions and proteins are lost in urine resulting in decreasing body proteins and disturbance in body fluid balance .That is the reason fluid accumulates in body specially dependent areas like legs ankles. Don't worry this will improve after starting medications.
