Hello Shahejad Ji,

Swelling in the hands and feet, difficulty breathing, and unbalanced diabetes levels are often linked to advanced kidney issues. The kidneys help regulate fluid levels in the body. When kidney function declines, excess fluid can build up, leading to swelling and breathing difficulties.

Given her current symptoms and medical history, it would be best to have her evaluated by a nephrologist or a specialist as soon as possible. She may need further treatment, which could include dialysis to help manage fluid overload and support her kidney function, as well as close monitoring of her blood sugar levels to keep her diabetes in check. If she’s having difficulty breathing, please seek immediate medical attention, as it could indicate fluid accumulation in her lungs.

We’re here to help you find a Nephrology / Urology expert or manage any questions you have about her treatment options.
