Edema due to Amlodipine and Kidney tests
I am suffering from severe swelling of ankles and legs and eyelids and face since i started taking amlodipine 5 mg with telmikind 80 mg . My doctor adviced certain tests as he wants to check kidney functions to rule out kidney failure. Serum creatinine, Blood urea , Serum uric acid, Hb all came normal . He told that my kidneys are normal as the above tests indicates how well kidney functions. I have a doubt that DO i need other Kidney test also or these tests are sufficient to check kidneys.
