<s>[INST] Hi ok for about 6 months now my hands occasionally swell and tend to be kinda numb. and i have gotten kidney infections quite often over the last five years. what is it and is it serious enough that i should go see a doctor, and im not sure its related but i have also had reaccuring miscarriages the last three pregnancys. [/INST] HAI, If there is a long-standing kidney disease swelling in the hand and ankle joint is obvious at the end of the day. But urinary tract infection will not show any swelling in hands. Frequent infection and miscarriage leads to rule out diabetic cause. Kindly investigate your blood sugar level, renal function test and urine culture to fix your problem. Hope i answered your queryRegards Chat Doctor. Senthilnathan </s>
