Good morning
Swelling in ankle can be due to accumulation of water in the foot
Could be due to gravity or due issue with the kidney functioning
Creatinine is elevated (indicates problem with kidney functioning)
(0.6 to 1.2) is the normal range
We have to assess whether this issue is a recent problem due to DKA (Dehydration) or it's been there for a while
