Swollen painful right ankle

Hi,

Is a week that my right ankle is swollen and painful. My D Dimer is elevated but no blood clots.

I'm wondering if it could be related to my kidney function as it came back slightly abnormal. Both Ckd and Creatinine.

What is your opinion?

I had a similar problem to yours. At first sight, I would say that it could either be Cellulitis, as the photo that you have attached, looks exactly the way that this infection started for me. Would be wise to have it checked out by your GP. I also have issues with Oedema, where the fluid gathers around the ankle area and it painful, raised sore skin. Please have a medical professional check it out. Good Luck and Stay Safe 🌷
