Causes of swollen legs in Diabetes and lupus
Swelling on legs is a signal of Kidney Disease. Both long-term Diabetes and lupus can cause kidney damage. The presence of leg swelling is due to factors as below:
a. The diseased kidneys fail to work normally to remove excess sodium and water from the body, causing retention of fluid and sodium, thus resulting in swelling in the legs, and also the hands, feet, and around the eyes. This swelling often becomes worse throughout the day.
b. The impaired filtering membrane of the kidneys fail to keep proteins within the blood. Massive proteins will get released into urine. When the serum protein level is lower than that in body tissues, the fluid will infiltrate into subcutaneous tissue, causing edema or swelling.
