Work up of edema: Where do you retain the water? If it is in your legs, then you may have vascular problems. Also despite of normal kidney function, have you been checked for the presence of protein in the urine and do you know your blood Albumin level, protein in the urine and/or low blood Albumin level may cause fluid retention as well. Some medications cause fluid retention such as steroids and contraceptives.
