My mother used to have swelling in hands early morning when she wakes up..it reduces little after some time. Her legs also swells sometimes. Is this because of any kidney problems or else what can it be?

Overuse and overwork from the hands and excess work will lead to swelling in feet. Standing, walking, sit to stand are all work for legs.
