Not one answer: Swelling or edema can occur in patients at varying degrees of kidney disease- and the extent is also variable. Typically if you elevate your legs the swelling will go down but it may not always dissipate. Medications such as norvasc (amlodipine) can cause swelling as well as a blood clot, lie ER disease etc. Make sure you discuss this with your doctor to treat the underlying cause effectively.
