-Your kidney reports are normal, so kidney-related swelling is unlikely
-Under-eye bags may be related to lack of sleep, stress, allergies, fluid retention, or vitamin/iron deficiency history
Next Steps
-Improve sleep schedule and reduce excess salt intake
-Continue correction of Vitamin D, B12, and iron deficiency if present
-Apply cold compress over eyes for 10–15 mins daily
-Consider checking ferritin, B12, Vitamin D, and thyroid profile if symptoms persist
Health Tips
-Stay hydrated and avoid prolonged screen exposure/night waking
-Seek evaluation if swelling rapidly increases, becomes painful, or involves whole face/body
-Contact me anytime on Practo for further consultation

Since your KFT reports are absolutely normal (eGFR 123, Creatinine 0.75), we can rule out kidney-related edema or swelling. Bags under the eyes in your case are likely related to Iron Deficiency or Vitamin B12/D3 deficiency, which you have mentioned having a history of. Even with a normal Hemoglobin, low iron stores (Ferritin) can cause the skin under the eyes to look pale or puffy. Additionally, at 32, lifestyle factors such as irregular sleep, high salt intake, or screen strain could be contributing to fluid retention in that sensitive area."
Next Steps
For a personalized treatment plan to fix these deficiencies and reduce eye puffiness, please book a full consultation session via my Practo profile."

It most looks like due to inadequate sleep and vitamin deficiency in your case.

Your kidney related reports being normal is definitely reassuring 👍 Under eye bags can happen due to multiple manageable reasons like sleep issues, allergies, nutritional deficiencies, stress, or local eye related causes, so proper correlation with your history and examination is important. You can consult with me directly for a detailed evaluation and guidance regarding the exact cause and next steps.

Firstly it's good to know that you track your health parameters regularly. I also hope that since you mentioned that you sometimes become deficient in Iron, vit B12 and D, you are supplementing these.Both in diet as well as supplements.
A well hydrated skin and well rested skin will look supple and less saggy. Do check if these two factors are being looked after.
Next Steps
Keep Nutrition and Hydration and sleep hygiene in balance. since you are 35, it's also a good thing to start a basic skin care routine in the morning and before sleeping. It's best to do and invest in products that work for your skin and suit your routine.
