Swelling may occur in the arms, legs, and the hands. In some cases, the kidney itself may swell. When a damaged kidney fails to remove toxins from the blood, some of it accumulates in the kidneys, which causes it to swell. You may also notice your feet and hands swelling because the excess fluid that should have been removed from the body accumulates in the body tissues. Also, when the filtering blood vessels in the kidneys fail to work, it reduces the levels of albumin in the blood. As a result, it causes fluid accumulation in the tissues. Reduce alcohol intake and cigarette smoking. You can also stick to a healthy diet to prevent progression of kidney failure.Next
