Pulmonologist,  's  Response
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.
