Swelling (oedema) may occur when kidney function is impaired, such as in diabetic kidney damage, leading to excess fluid buildup in the body. It may also be due to heart strain caused by long-standing high blood pressure. This combination can be serious and requires urgent medical evaluation, including blood tests, urine tests, and assessment of heart and kidney function. Please see a doctor immediately for proper diagnosis and timely adjustment of treatment, including medication, dietary salt restriction, fluid management, and strict control of blood sugar and blood pressure.
