Kidneys are one of the vital organs in the human system. They carry out the most major functions which contribute to the overall functioning of the body. One of these functions is disposing of the extra fluid in your system.
This means that when the kidneys fail to perform their main function, the extra fluid, and sodium clump together, causing swelling. Therefore, the swelling of feet and ankles is among the main signs of kidney disease.
If the condition is treated on time, chronic kidney disease could be avoided. Plus, the drainage system can be damaged by urinary infections, causing swollen feet and ankles as well.
