Q. What could be the reason for leg swelling with high blood pressure and elevated creatine levels?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First, I want you to tell me your previous creatinine level and an ultrasound of the kidneys. You have high blood pressure and leg swelling that point towards kidney disease, with protein in the urine. There is a possibility that you might have chronic kidney disease, which went undiagnosed. Please elaborate on your history of diabetes, previous hypertension, medication history, and family history.

Thank you.

1. Urinalysis.

2. Urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR).

3. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level.

4. Serum uric acid level.

5. Liver function test (LFT).

6. Iron profile.

7. Ultrasound of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder (USG-KUB).

CKD (chronic kidney disease).

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
