Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
80 year old patient having diabetics and heart problems is given resnia 1 ml twice daily .patient is having allergic ashma .now he is having swelling around eyes and stomach and almost full time ( rather than for toilet and food) in bed.why this swelling ,anything like kidney failure.
Well, there are several causes causing swelling over eyes like heart failure, Liver cirrhosis, severe anaemia. However, the commonest cause of swelling appearing around eyes and the subsequently over other body parts is KIDNEY FAILURE.
Since the patient is diabetic, there is a good chance he is having DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY.
There is loose connective tissue around eyes and this causes the free fluid in the body to accumulate around eyes.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have doubt.
With regards, Dr. Sridhar Reddy
