F/u w kidney MD: Compression stockings may help. However, with ESRD you should be under close care with nephrologist (kidney specialist), thus would recommend you follow up with kidney doctor to evaluate your kidney function,determine if there are other issues that need to be evaluated such had heart function, liver function, and rule out rarer things such as blood clots (unlikely if both legs swell equally)
