Mam you are 51 years old you have abdomen enlarged,weight gain and pedal odema.You should do a scanning of abdomen first and that should throw light into the issue.As the scan comes let you proceed on with blood testing.I feel pedal oedema should be secondary to abdominal swelling pressure effect on legs.
