One of the most common symptoms of kidney disease is swollen feet.
Foot swelling may occur due to several reasons, including the presence of too much fluid in the tissues or the presence of an advanced renal disorder, or malfunctioning of the kidneys, according to the “timesnownews” and “Times of India” websites.
Research has indicated that damage to the fine-filtering nephrons leads to the so-called nephrotic syndrome, in which low levels of the protein albumin in the blood and increased levels in the urine lead to fluid accumulation, leading to edema, most commonly around the ankles and feet.
