Patients who have swollen hands and feet. The first thing to consider is whether it is due to renal insufficiency, uremia, and other causes. Secondly, it is recommended that patients should also further check thyroid function, because people with hypothyroidism, especially severe hypothyroidism, can also trigger edema around the body. Again, people with heart failure can also develop generalized edema. If generalized edema occurs in heart failure, the condition of heart failure is often critical and must be given active and effective diuretic and vasodilator treatment to better improve the condition. In addition, some patients may have cirrhosis of the liver and renal insufficiency, which may also lead to swollen hands and feet. Finally, some people with swollen hands and feet may have an unknown cause, called idiopathic edema, and patients are advised to treat the symptoms.
