Leg swelling can be caused by a number of things, including high blood pressure, heart failure, and kidney disease. If you are experiencing leg swelling, it is important to see a doctor determine the cause. Some causes of leg swelling, such as high blood pressure and heart failure, can be treated and may go away once the underlying problem is treated. Other causes of leg swelling, such as kidney disease, cannot be cured but may be managed with medication.
