My aunt is 104 and in excellent condition apart from clear liquid leaking from her legs, from knee to toes and swelling . Her doctor has given her a diuretic but this has now gone on for 2 years and is not clearing up.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The leakage of clear liquid must be related to swelling in the legs which can be related to multiple disorders related to heart and kidneys. A direct examination and evaluation are recommended.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
