Swelling in the ankles/feet can be caused by liver problems. One of the signs of liver failure is swelling in the legs. The liver cannot remove the toxins efficiently, so they accumulate in the legs. I know this because I had a co-worker that was being treated for liver failure (on a transplant list) His legs had been swollen for quite some time. At first he was told to watch his salt and elevate his feet. He was disappointed in his HMO, because he felt that the doctor should have picked up earlier on the liver issues due to the swelling he was experiencing.
