HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Oozing from the legs can occur in very severe edema. It can also occur in other conditions such as dermatitis (inflammation of the skin).
His severe edema may be due to his kidney disease and also may be related to his heart if he has heart failure.
He would be given medications to help to remove the excess fluid.
I hope this helps
