assalamualaikum
do these tests further
ESR
SPUTUM FOR GENE XPERT
chest x ray
repeat blood cp with RFTS and serum electrolytes
we will work for TB
and how is your appetite ?

Dr. Siraj Ahmed Khatri · Answer

you reports suggestes effects on kidneys too, and having low potassium which can be caused by vomiting . I need further information regarding any diarrhoea, excessive urination too. I would suggest take plenty of water .
now cough is more related with your reflux, and need further information like any acid taste in mouth , food regurgitation.
the chest xray is very important at this stage first to see changes.

Dr. Fahd Farooq Khan · Answer

AsalamoAlaikum I am surprised how can doctors say that your tests are ok . You have raised creatinine along with decreased potassium. Kindly elaborate your history , need to know more  about your personal and past medical history like smoking , increased urination, Diarrhea , body cramps  , high Blood pressure and use of any previous medications  or if any previous chest X Ray done . Weight loss despite normal intake of food is alarming . Kindly need some me more tests . Kindly repeat your RFTs , spot urinary protein to creatinine ratio, BLood sugar fasting , HbA1C , Ultrasound KUB ( kidney , ureter , Bladder ) and along with that you need to get your complete physical examination again . Kindly get all the things done and I am sure inshaaAllah  we will reach some diagnosis . Regards
