Hello,
Thank You for the query at HealthcareMagic
The facial swelling your friend is experiencing is most probably edema. It is important to look for kidney function test, with edema and high uric acid levels.
I'd recommend that you follow up with a Primary care provider to get kidney function testing done and further evaluation.
Hope I was able to help you
Please address any more concerns
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
