Is there a hope of survival in a condition described below?


My great uncle is currently in the hospital due to an Emergency that occured early this morning, I have not given up hope that he will prevail and live on. However, I am afraid he may pass away in the conditions described.

Recent past Conditions

-Heart Bypass with a blood vessel/vein/artery put in his chest.
-Was followed up on the issue the other day and was normal.

Current Conditions

-Kidney Failure
-Pnemonia(Lungs Filling up with fluid)
-Extremely Low Blood Pressure

Condition in the hospital
-Sedated
-In the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
-On life support

Does anyone know what can happen about this issue described?

He is currently in his Early-Mid 70's.

Does not Smoke

Social Drinker

Is at a healthy weight level

There are other factors to contemplate such as age and the cause of the low blood pressure. Seems to me he might have coronary heart disease which can make every other organ in the body work slower. Everything depends on the cardiac output. The kidney failure is something to worry about....when your kidneys shut down there isn't much to do. The pneumonia can resolve depending on the cause of it. The blood pressure is hard to control because u have to be on constant medication *(dopamine drip)...it doesn't look good buddy, but have faith for I have seen worse cases resolve. Good luck to you and your uncle.
