Thank you for your question. Leg swelling, fatigue, and worsening kidney function often coincide with one another. It is unclear from this description if the leg swelling and kidney dysfunction is due to the bypass surgery. This would depend upon his baseline kidney function, what kind of bypass surgery he had, what other medical conditions he has, and his medications. Kidney dysfunction is not something to trifle with, however. I would recommend seeing your surgeon who performed the bypass to inform him/her of the problem, and to seek guidance as to the most appropriate next steps.
Good luck!

Thank you for your question. This depends upon the cause of the swelling of both of your legs. Malfunctioning veins may be a cause of swelling, where surgical ablation might be helpful. There are many conditions that affect the entire body, however, that can also cause leg swelling, that would not be helped by surgical ablation. My recommendation to you would be to consult with a Vascular Surgeon and have them perform a thorough history and physical as well as a venous duplex ultrasound. This should help to guide your therapy. Good luck!
