Can Failed Kidney Function Tests And Persistent Cough Be Related?

Hi I have recently failed 3 kidney function tests over a few weeks and have now had a persistent cough for 2 weeks. Could these be related? I am 26 years old, 163cm, 12 st 8 oz, no other medical issues however I did have acute appendicitis a year ago

yes. it can be very well related. if there is failed kidney function then there might be volume overload in lung which in early stages can produce cough.
