Hi Lybrate user. The water retention or generalised swelling could be because of renal failure or low serum albumin which is a consequence of poor nutrition as well as any critical illness. The treatment is diuretics (dytor is a diuretic), fluid restriction and correcting the primary condition. Although a physical consultation in person is very important before advising. Especially since you are saying the creatinine is rising. So do consult your nephrologist or you can contact me.
