What can cause breathing problem?
Patient: my father is having breathing problem. he is obese, 100kg. feet and body gets swel. he is 72 years. recenty we have consulted cardiack specialist. he has done blood and urin test. urea 55mg/dl,creatinine 1.8mg/dl. according to dr. his both kidney is damged. but we have doubt on his comments. because other then his breathing problem, he is absolutely fine. because of his comments we are all mantely disturbd. can you give your suggestion, what i should do with my father. Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should get done repeat creatinine level and ultrasound examination of kidneys. If creatinine level is high and ultrasound shows kidney damage then possibility of Renal failure is more likely in his case. Renal failure can cause pedal edema, pulmonary congestion and breathlessness. So possibility of kidney damage is high in your father's case. Consult nephrologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
