Critical Conditions that can cause swelling of legs
Most people have been trying to know what medical problems can cause swelling of the leg, so I will be listing some below
Kidney diseases
According to WebMD, When your kidneys aren’t functioning properly for an extended period of time, you may develop long-term renal disease. As a result, fluid builds up in the limbs and legs, making them swollen, instead of being removed from the blood and excreted.
These symptoms may also be present:
Fatigue
Anxiety about running out of breath
Nausea
Thirsty to excess
abrasions and blood loss
Swollen legs, ankles, and feet can be a symptom of acute renal failure, which occurs when the kidneys suddenly cease performing. When you’re in the hospital with other health issues, however, it’s more likely to occur. Learn more about the signs and causes of acute renal failure.
Swollen legs, ankles, and feet can also be a sign of acute kidney failure, which occurs when your kidneys suddenly stop functioning. It’s more common, however, while you’re in the hospital for another issue. Learn more about the signs and causes of acute renal failure.
Pregnancy.
Pressure on your leg veins begins to build up during pregnancy’s third trimester. This reduces blood flow and causes fluid to accumulate in your body. Mild swelling was the end result.
Preeclampsia, a potentially life-threatening condition, may be triggered by these additional symptoms:
Swelling that is particularly severe around the eyes
having a terrible headache.
Changes in vision, such as fuzziness or light sensitivity
Swollen legs and shortness of breath are symptoms of peripartum cardiomyopathy, a form of heart failure associated with pregnancy that can occur during the final trimester or shortly after delivery. Swelling and other discomforts can be alleviated by learning more about pregnancy.
