Possible impaired kidney function.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I see the photo you attached. I think he is having under eyes and facial edema. This may be a sign of impaired kidney function.
He may need to do azotemia (nitrogenemia) , creatimemia, proteinemia.
He also need to do protein levels in urine.
This result will show how kidneys are working.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
