LAHORE Pakistan Muslim League-N Spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb on Monday said doctors treating ailing former premier Nawaz Sharif have advised that he be shifted to the United States. She said the PML-N supremo’s medical reports showed there was an 88 per cent blockage in the arteries circulating blood to his brain. “Doctors have advised him to consult an expert in the United States. However, transporting him there poses an immense challenge for the medical team,” the spokesperson said. Marriyum said Nawaz is also expected to undergo a biopsy in light of his latest PET scan. “There has been no improvement in his platelet count despite the high doses of steroids, which were also causing his blood sugar levels to rise,” she said, adding that the reason for the decreasing platelet count is yet to be ascertained.
