My younger who is age 20 has been battling with a sickness for over a year now.
His body is swelling up.
Eyes, neck, legs and stomach. They all appear puffed.
We have done all kinds of test and treatment, nobody has been able to diagnose the nature of the sickness.
There is no pain whatsoever, just swellings especially after a nap.
Also he sleeps more than usual.
There was a period it went down for like 3 months.
But now we are back to it again.
He is having difficulty in breathing because of the throat swellings
I will be attaching some of the drugs he is using.
And will be available to answer questions.

Pls ignore the typos here.


Take him to a teaching hospital and make sure he gets treatment. If you are treating a person without diagnosis. You have a long way go.

Either kidney problems or extreme allergic reactions.
If he has problems urinating, or if you notice reduced urine quantity compared to water intake, or coloured urination, it might be water retention due to renal problems.
Allergies on the other hand are a confusing bunch, so I can't pinpoint any way to diagnose it

This is what I'm passing through right now. I just open a thread an Hr ago.
I can't pass urine despite drinking much water but my body isn't swelling.

He is actually right you know.. swelling of eyes, arms and legs results from loss of kidney function.

I took a physicians course on Kidney disease and there I got to know kidney disease has stages from stage 1 through 4 or 5 thereabout when it becomes Kidney failure. Foamy urine and protein in the urine are early symptoms of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and early treatment most times slows the progression and in some cases dialysis and kidney transplant is required.
I know a guy who suffered these exact symptoms described by the poster but sadly didn't make it. Guess he couldn't keep up with the treatment but it's quite sad.


Really sad, I hope he gets the help he needs urgently, he’s quite too young for this.

Kidney dx is a 20yr old is highly atypical plus if it was Kidney dx I'm sure they'd have gotten a diagnosis by now since she's saying they've been through multiple investigations.

Are you sure of what you are saying ? Nephrotic syndrome is common in children and adolescents . These days young people are having End stage renal disease

Stop the lisinopril immediately. One of the side effects of lisinopril is oedema.

Please stop the lisinopril and observe him for about 3 days. You should see a difference if the swelling is a result of an allergic reaction. And most IMPORTANTLY, see a competent doctor asap.

These drugs listed above are for BP and KIDNEY Failure, but why the drugs since you said nothing has been diagnosed for the swellings. Please ensure both orthodox, traditional and Spiritual applications are applied to his Cause. Cheers.

They might be treating him for kidney and the illness may not be kidney disease. Knowing nigeria's constant medical misdiagnoses. It clould be alergy.

Brace up for my analysis, Firstly like someone said don't pm anyone here, go to the hospital for full analysis.. Rule out kidney.. Look more at the liver, it seems to be infected.. Now this is something a strong antibiotics can cure.. Now for what you need to brace up for is this.. Your brother is either using one hard substance or the other he needs to open up, or he had contracted Hep. B via sex.. In conclusion Liver function test has to be conducted.. This is a case of edema.

Please, try and go to the hosp and ask the doctor if the Lisinopril is still ok for him to take. That drug has a serious side effect of angioedema and its an airway issue. From the pictures of the swollen eyes and your statment about the fact that he cant breathe due to the swelling, its a serious issue. Airway is priority in health and should not be taking lightly. Also, at the hospital, did they check his BUN and Creatinine level (Kidney function tests)?

Please, go to more hospitals asap. Its well with his spirit, soul, and body...Quickest recovery bro!

Pls ignore the typos here.

Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by oyithemilkman: 10:37pm On Oct 07, 2021
It's either an early stage of kidney disease or heart disease known as pericarditis.my cousin and my elder brother respectively suffered the diseases within the year making me to know about it.both can cause water retention in the body and high BP.from the pic.its most likely to be kidney issue which is at early stage.pls see nephrologist asap and not this general practitioners. nephrologist are consultants and are not on strike.if you are in BENUE see Dr.ogiator in BSUTH.with about 100k he will be become lean and out of hospital in about 3weeks .He would NOT need dialysis now but you guys have to act fast before it degerate.wish him divine health and will remember him in my prayer.

He could be reacting to a food or something.

Check his diet. It could be crayfish or alcohol. I know of two people who suffer this kinda condition whenever they eat crayfish and take alcohol respectively. So, before you conclude it's a kidney problem, first check his diet. Except it's been diagnosed already.

May God heal him.
Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by Spectaclesawe25: 10:39pm On Oct 07, 2021

Re: Body Is Swelling Up Without Cure by pavoda: 10:40pm On Oct 07, 2021
Abdominal swelling can be due to ascites, organ enlargement or constipation. These conditions can cause generalised abdominal distension or swelling. It can be caused by a host of underlying conditions including hepatic disorders like Liver Cirrhosis, Heart Diseases, Cancers like peritoneal Pancreatitis, and infections like tuberculosis can also cause Abdominal Swelling. Also Ascites can also be a result of hemodialysis in patients with end stage kidney disease.
As you can see there are a wide range of conditions that can cause the symptoms you just mentioned, all of them will have significant impact of his health so you need to act quickly by seeking more focused medical care for him

Some important questions though:

Is he losing weight?

Does he have a history of diabetes mellitus or Hypertension?

Does he drink alcohol? how much does he drink?

Has he had a history of Hepatitis C or B? Vaccinations?

Does he have a history of recent kidney injury or chronic kidney disease?

You will need to run the following test to get a better picture of the undeyling cause of the signs you mentioned :

A Hepatic Panel,
Renal Fnx Test,
Abdominal Ultrasound,
Complete Blood Count,
Basic Metabolic Panel,
Serum Calcium and Magnesium, and Serum Lipase

Sympathise with his problem. It shall be well with him in Jesus name.

Pls stop this kind of statement; "we have taken drugs with no result".
Unless in the context of a doctor asking you what prescriptions have been used so far, it will annoy medical personnel.

Really sad, I hope he gets the help he needs urgently, he’s quite too young for this.

Really sad indeed.. but miracles do happen so I wouldn't write him off yet. with proper medical treatment and a kidney-friendly diet plan, he might scale through.

When it comes to Kidneys, Heart, Liver.. the saying that prevention is better than cure holds sway. It's advisable to limit alcohol intake, if possible cut off alcohol completely cos alcohol kills. One should also reduce salt, sugar, pepper and stuffs and not eat late (after 7pm).
The rate of Kidney issues in Nigeria is alarming and there is no sensitization for people to live healthy.
