Hi,
As your aunt has a significant lung and kidney problem coupled with her advanced age, this indicates she is very ill. It would be impossible to suggest what the cause of her bleeding is without further tests. However, the outlook is likely to be quite poor. I suggest you will need to be realistic in your expectations as she may not recover fully from her present illness.
Regards,
