Feet swelling
My sister has diabetes and recently she started seeing one of the feet swelling but goes away in few days and appearing again. She is on insulin and has albumin-microalbumin/creatinine ratio at 75ug/mg. 24 hr urine test reveals proteins at 278.4 mg/ 24 hours.
I wanted to know the root cause of the swelling. A doppler was taken as she had pain in legs too which Came out normal.
Please see a nephrologist as early aw possible
