Feet swell
Answers (7)
Hello,
Swelling of the legs with fluid-filled blisters can occur when there is significant fluid accumulation beneath the skin. This may be associated with kidney disease, heart problems or poor venous circulation.
Since your father-in-law already has kidney problems and has now developed blisters, I recommend an in-person medical assessment today.
A nephrologist (kidney specialist) or general physician would be the appropriate doctor to consult. A dermatologist or wound-care specialist may also be required for the blisters.
Kidney function tests, serum albumin, urine protein assessment and evaluation of fluid retention may be necessary.
Please avoid puncturing the blisters, as this can increase the risk of infection. Keep the affected areas clean and protected.
If he develops fever, increasing redness, severe pain, breathlessness or reduced urine output, seek emergency medical attention.
