Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Before any evaluation about disease , we want to know ,
age,
sex,
history of previous illness,
blood reports , as serum creatinine , glucose filtration rate ( G F R), uric acid , urea.
As swelling over dependent parts ( such as hands & feet) may be due to involvement of KIDNEY.
May be due to anemia,
Hypo proteinaemia,
Congestive heart failure.
If any of these symptoms present as you mention skin will looks bright and thin ( paper thin) , due to resolve of fat underlying skin.
Good luck.
