I have consulted two kidney specialist with no diagnosis.

I am getting fluid retention in both legs. I look swelled up, but doctors based on blood reports have denied any problem kidney problems. They said sometimes cause cannot be known. I am having this issue since 3 years and it is only aggravating. My last reports till month may show no abnormalities. I have had createnine tested 6 times in last 3 years. This time it increased from 0.6 to 0.7. urea is 17 that in lowest in range. Potassium in range. No sugar or bp. Should i get health check-up done once more? Its been 4 months I had last check up. I

Iam worried about kidneys for two main reason -

I have low urine output, I pass less urine.

I had strong iv antibiotics along with oral medicines. I feel like my cells are dying inside. Any suggestions are welcome. I just turned 27 and have no history of kidney problems in family.

I am doing meditation , drinking more water , avoid less processed food. Very Less dairy and eggs but nothing seems to be helping. I workout but my muscles doesn't seems to recover.

    Have they done a 24 hour urine test? That will show your GFR and it will also show if you are leaking protein which can be a cause for swelling.  If you are worried about it being kidneys cut out salt which is in so many food items this will help with edema. 

    Good luck.

    Since fluid retention can have many causes, it may be time to go to a primary care physician. Primary care physicians will consider all plausible problems and screen for anything that could be causing the edema. If anything is found, he or she would then refer you out to the correct specialist.

    Hi,

    If you have had blood work done and your bloods are fine then you have to trust that you don't have kidney issues.  Swelling can be caused by lots of issues so I would return to your dr and ask for your symptoms to be investigated to see if you can find the true cause.  The very best of luck.
