A member asked:
Does the location of edema tell a doctor what's wrong or what organ is having problems (kidneys, heart, etc)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Edema: If you have total body edema including eyes it may mean kidney disease or very low serum proteins. Also liver disease can cause abdominal swelling
