What is swelling?
Swelling is caused by excess fluid trapped in your body's tissues. Although edema can affect any part of your body, it's most commonly noticed in your hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs. Swelling can be the result of medication, pregnancy or an underlying disease-often heart failure, kidney disease or cirrhosis of the liver.
How can kidney disease cause swelling?
Swelling is caused by small blood vessels in the body leaking fluid. The kidney's response to this occurrence is to retain water and sodium. When this happens the small blood vessels get a message from the brain that there is excess fluid in the body, which causes the blood vessels to release even more. The cycle begins and soon the fluid becomes trapped in the body tissue, which causes swelling.
When the edema is caused by protein levels in the urine, it is called nephrotic syndrome. This syndrome creates a reduction in albumin (urine proteins). The kidneys receive a message that the body's blood supply is lacking volume, which triggers an attempt to retain salt to build more volume. The result is excess fluid being stored in tissue which causes swelling.
