5. Swelling in ankles, feet, and hands
Kidneys that aren’t functioning right don’t drain excess fluid from the body. This increases salt retention, resulting in swelling in your ankles, feet, and hands. Lower-body swelling can also indicate heart and liver illness and leg vein problems.
Warning: Taking medicine, lowering your salt intake, and eliminating extra fluid from your body can all help to reduce edema. If it does not work, you will require more therapy.
