Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You didn't mention about your kidney function to give you a clear idea about the problem you are facing. Altered albumin levels are the cause of pedal edema. Please follow up with the reports to explain exactly where the problem is.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
