8Kidney Disease
Kidneys are important organs of the body. They play a key role in removing extra fluid and waste from your body. When you suffer from kidney diseases, such as cancer, kidney stones, or kidney infection, these parts might struggle to eliminate toxins. As a result, fluids would build up in some veins and cause swollen ankles. If left untreated, the condition can be life-threatening and require dialysis to sustain basic functions in the body. To maintain your kidney functions, try some lifestyle changes, such as limiting alcohol, exercising, reducing fat and salt intake, and keeping a healthy weight. [8]
