The personal physician of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has said that his patient is 'critically unwell and is fighting the battle for his health and life'.
On Tuesday, Dr Adnan Khan took to his personal Twitter handle and wrote that his patient's deteriorating kidney functions is further complicating the low platelet count and heart attack. "Poor blood sugar and blood pressure control is taking its toll," the doctor tweeted.
Pending Scans/Biopsies, diagnostic dilemma still ensues from multiple complex pathologies & co-morbidities.
In a paradoxical catch 22 situation; establishing a definitive diagnosis & subsequent management poses considerable risk to #NawazSharif’s fragile & unstable health.
