Answer 1

I would think that the doctor would ALSO want to check kidney functions.  

If the kidnesy aren't working correctly, the excess wter in the system COULD build up in the lungs.

But usually (not always. . . ) kidney problems casue high blood pressure.

Still, worth a shot, maybe . . . .

Answer 2

i don't know anything about the chest xray but i do work in a lab so i konw what his blood tests mean. and everything looks normal except for his ESR. the normal value should be from 0-15. his is extremely high and indicates he has some sort of inflammation in his body.

i hope i helped a bit!
