He is being constantly monitored by a team of doctors from critical care and nephrology departments.

“Azam Khan’s condition is critical. He is in ICU and his condition is monitored by experts. His oxygen requirement is 4-5 litres per minute and his platelet count dipped to 70,000 on Saturday. He has lung infection and creatinine is borderline high which suggests kidney infection. A team of nephrologists and critical care doctors are overseeing his condition,” said director, Medanta Hospital, Dr Rakesh Kapoor.

“At this moment, we can only say that time will tell how he fares. His condition can improve or deteriorate from here on. We are doing our best but the lung infection due to Covid-19 and borderline creatinine have to be brought to normal range for which medication has begun,” he added.
