    Sushil Kumar Paudel What about temperature, heart rate and heart sound(any murmur?), pulse deficit? for me, it looks like non-infectious, more likely Heart related, x-ray of chest and abdomen might add some clue to some extent! if possible better to go for echo/ecg.

    Rajshankar Tony Sarma I presume that by "abdo swellings" you mean that the abdomen is swelling with fluid rather than that you can feel masses?
    
    Low protein: lack of production or huge loss.
    
    PLE usually has a chronic history and diarrhoea.
