Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Edema occurs due to renal problems where albumin is filtered out and leads to edema on the body parts.
Congestive cardiac failure, liver diseases, lymphatic obstruction etcetera are the cause of edema for which work up should be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
