Hello. I am 23 years old and have been having a cough for the last 3 months. The general physician advised me to do a few blood tests and a chest X ray. My chest X ray report is normal, but a few tests in my blood report are higher than the normal range. My RDW test is 15.3 percent, eosinophils are 11 percent and SGOT is 46 U/L. What does this indicate? Do I need to worry? My brother has Hepatitis B, so since my SGOT is slightly high, does it mean I am infected with Hep B or any other hepatitis? Is there a chance of me having tuberculosis according to these X ray and blood test reports? Please advise the further course of action and which doctor I should visit? I have attached my blood reports.

High eosinophils suggest allergy or parasite. SGOT mildly high, not necessarily hepatitis. No TB evidence in X ray. Please take hepatitis panel for confirmation.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Recently I came to know that I have hepatitis B during blood donation and my blood report shows HBsAg greater than 280 IU per ml reactive. Please help me understand what this means and how I can know whether it is acute, chronic, or inactive carrier state. I am very scared and want to know how to overcome this situation. Is it curable and will Ayurvedic treatment help in eliminating HBV.

Hi Doctor, I am attaching my liver function test report for your review. Could you please guide me on whether these results indicate any risk of liver problems in the future? I do not drink or smoke, and I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, so I am concerned about why my liver function readings are elevated. Thank you in advance for your guidance.
