Yes,definitely: Kidney disease causes swelling of face first than feet, but still in some people ,it is more observable in the feet than face and rest of the body. Also if you loose proteins from kidney disease that also can lead to welling of feet which is called edema.Please consult your Nephrologist ASAP
