LAHORE (92 News) – Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's health is in a critical condition and is fighting a battle for survival, his personal physician Dr Adnan Khan said on Tuesday. In a series of tweet, Dr Adnan has said that former PM Nawaz Sharif, critically unwell, is fighting the battle for his health and life. “Thrombocytopenia (Low Platelet Count) & NSTEMI (Heart Attack) is further complicated by deteriorating Kidney functions. Poor Blood Sugar & Blood Pressure control is taking its toll,” he tweeted.

In another tweet, Dr Adnan said that pending Scans/Biopsies, diagnostic dilemma still ensues from multiple complex pathologies and co-morbidities. “In a paradoxical catch 22 situation; establishing a definitive diagnosis & subsequent management poses considerable risk to #NawazSharif’s fragile & unstable health,” the doctor explained.

The chief executive of Sharif Medical City said that the doctors were also facing difficulty in establishing a definitive diagnosis and subsequent management poses a considerable risk to Nawaz’s health. On the other hand, hospital sources said the former premier had lost close to seven kilos since he had been admitted in the hospital. They added that before being admitted this weight was 107 kilos and right now it had gone to 100 kilos. A day earlier, the health condition of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is still unstable even undergoing treatment in hospital for seven days. According to the reports, Nawaz Sharif is facing reduction of blood platelet count and chest pain. However, he has also problems of kidneys for administering IVIG injections and steroids. A day earlier, the health of Nawaz Sharif has again slipped into the danger zone as his blood platelet count drastically decreased from 45,000 to 25,000 within a day. The blood platelet count of Nawaz has fallen to 25,000. The medical board immediately stopped administering Heparin medicine to Nawaz for his heart condition while the Punjab Institute of Cardiology issued a 24-hour duty roster of a heart specialist to monitor his health.
