Beyond their challenge in eliminating excess fluids, malfunctioning kidneys also lose their capacity to effectively eliminate sodium from your bloodstream. This results in retained salt within your body, which poses an issue since sodium exacerbates fluid retention problems. This can lead to swelling, particularly in your feet, ankles, hands, face, and around your eyes. Swelling can also serve as a potential indicator of severe conditions such as heart failure, chronic liver disease, liver failure, diabetes, damage to leg veins, and it can even be a side effect of specific medications. To ensure your well-being, it’s advisable to seek medical evaluation if you experience swelling.
