Former Pakistan Prime Minister is on the 'verge of kidney failure' and a medical board has recommended his immediate transfer from Adiala jail to a hospital, reported Pakistani media on Sunday.
Urea nitrogen in Sharif’s blood had risen to a dangerous level, and he is suffering from excessive sweating and dehydration due to humidity in the prison. His heart beat is also irregular, reported Pakistan-based Express News.
They also added that a medical board examined Nawaz Sharif on Sunday.
If physicians, who examine Sharif, officially recommend his treatment in a hospital, a medical board would be constituted to examine the ex-PM’s health and action would be taken in the light of related recommendations of the board, reported Express News. However, no confirmation has been made in this matter so far.
