Leg swelling related to fluid buildup. Leg swelling caused by the retention of fluid in leg tissues is known as peripheral edema. It can be caused by a problem with the circulatory system, the lymphatic system or the kidneys. Leg swelling isn't always a sign of a heart or circulation problem.
Other serious causes of leg swelling include kidney disease, preeclampsia and liver disease, such as cirrhosis of the liver. Orthopedic conditions that can cause leg swelling include dislocations, bone fractures, a cast that is too tight, contusion, ankle sprain, and ligament injuries and tendon injuries.
