Does kidney deficiency cause facial swelling?

Kidney deficiency can cause facial edema, but facial edema is not necessarily kidney deficiency. If you see facial edema, you should distinguish between various causes, such as lung, spleen, kidney and liver can cause edema. Pulmonary edema caused by qi is often mainly caused by the face; edema caused by spleen is often mainly caused by the lower limbs; edema caused by liver is often mainly caused by abdomen; edema caused by kidney can show edema in the lower limbs and face. Deficiency of kidney yang and kidney qi can cause edema. The pathogenesis is that the kidney does not transform qi and move water. When treating, it is necessary to warm the kidney and transform qi, diuresis and detumescence. If the face is swollen, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for further examination, such as urine routine, kidney function, blood lipid, blood sugar and other tests to confirm the diagnosis.
