Swelling of the whole body may be caused by heart diseases and kidney diseases, which lead to disorders in blood circulation and metabolic functions. Additionally, long-term use of hormonal drugs or allergic reactions can also lead to metabolic disorders and increase the risk of edema. After targeted treatment, the symptoms can be improved. In case of swelling of the whole body, patients should immediately go to the hospital for examination and confirmation of the cause before undergoing targeted treatment.
1. Heart diseases, such as heart failure, can lead to edema in the lower parts of the body due to circulatory abnormalities, such as ankles and lower limbs. In severe cases, it can lead to edema of the whole body.
2. Kidney diseases, such as various types of nephritis and renal failure, can cause abnormal protein metabolism, leading to edema of the whole body.
3. Long-term oral administration of hormonal drugs can lead to metabolic disorders in the body, resulting in edema. After symptomatic treatment, the symptoms can be improved.
4. Patients with severe malnutrition may experience hypoproteinemic edema, which is more common in malignant consumptive diseases with poor prognosis.
5. Allergies, such as drug allergies, food allergies, or pollen allergies, can cause abnormalities in multiple parts of the body, such as edema, skin rashes, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, it can lead to anaphylactic shock and endanger the patient's life. Once these symptoms appear, patients should seek medical attention immediately and be given anti-allergy and symptomatic treatment after being removed from the allergen.
