Question 1

I wanted to ask about ALP in a liver function test. My ALP level came out to be 141. Does this indicate any problem with my liver? Thank you.

Question 2

My recent Liver Function Test results are as follows:
Bilirubin Total: 0.65 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10)
Bilirubin Direct: 0.17 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 0.20)
Bilirubin Indirect: 0.48 mg/dL (Normal: 0.00 to 1.10)
AST (SGOT): 28.5 U/L (Normal: 18.0 to 37.0)
ALT (SGPT): 47.3 U/L (Normal: 0.0 to 40.0)
Could you please explain what these results mean? Is there any concern, particularly with the ALT being slightly above normal?

Question 3

My uncle tested positive for COVID 19 eight days ago. Initially, he had a mild fever, but he recovered after taking the prescribed medications. However, during a follow up blood test yesterday, his D dimer, SGPT, and SGOT levels were elevated. The doctor prescribed blood thinning medication based on these results, but after starting the new medication, his condition seems to have worsened, his coughing has increased, and he is experiencing significant fatigue. We are unsure whether this is a side effect of the new medication or a sign of something more serious. I have attached the reports for reference.

Chronic carrier state is rare and usually only if symptoms persist for months. Continue hydration, bland diet, rest. Vomiting and weakness should resolve in 1 to 3 weeks.
