I understand your concern.
Pitting edema in lower leg might indicate renal pathology.
Though there are various causes of edema.
Complete blood testing with Renal/Liver/Thyroid functions test will be advisable to reach root cause of it.
Physical examinations?blood pressure?blood sugar is also necessary.
So consult physician and get assistance from him.
I hope i have answered your query.
feel free to ask.
Thank you.
