Swollen knuckles reveal: High cholesterol
If you have high cholesterol then chances are you have swollen knuckles and vice versa. In fact, swollen knuckles could indicate a genetic high cholesterol condition called familial hypercholesterolemia, or FH for short.
Fat deposits found in the tendons are known as xanthomas. They lump together in the elbows, knees, and of course, hands.
A lot of people sometimes wrongly assume that swollen knuckles are a sign of a person working with their hands a lot, and while it is true that our hands do change in accordance to the labor we do, it’s better to check with a doctor instead of dismissing this condition.

I do not seem to have any of these tell-tale signs that you pointed out. However, I do have high cholesterol, kidney disease and a few other problems, but the sign are not there. How do you figure that?
