Now in previos week, her body is totally swelling and urine is not normal.My questiion is that is this a condition of kidney damage and what will be the treatments. [/INST] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has long-standing diabetes.  Diabetes is known to cause kidney damage.  It causes diabetic nephropathy. Body swelling is common in kidney disease.  She should go for complete kidney function test.  Then she needs to take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. </s>
