Hi and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. Your father's age isn't given.
Your father has both kidney and heart problems.
The creatinine is elevated, due to kidney problem.
The EF (ejection fraction) of 15%, is due to a heart problem.
The leg swelling is due to multi-organ problems.
Water gets accumulated,when the fluids aren't filtered out by the kidneys.
