The doctor had suspected that there is something wrong with her kidney causing her hands, feet and face to be puffy. They had performed a CT Scan which result has revealed that both of her kidney had actually shrinken a bit. They had taken some blood test and urine test to properly diagnose her condition. The will also most probably refer her to HKL where they have more expert in nephrotic departments and may also perform a kidney biopsy over there.
The kidneys are our body's natural filtration system. They perform the critical task of processing approximately 200 quarts of fluid in the bloodstream every 24 hours. Waste products like urea and toxins, along with excess fluids, are removed from the bloodstream in the form of urine. Kidney (or renal) failure occurs when kidney functioning becomes impaired. Fluids and toxins begin to accumulate in the bloodstream. As fluids build up in the bloodstream, the patient with acute kidney failure may become puffy and swollen (edematous) in the face, hands, and feet. Their blood pressure typically begins to rise, and they may experience fatigue and nausea.
Hopefully with proper treatment, Hanum's disease whatever they may call it can be cured. Insya allah.
