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.

Take a HEPATITIS B SURFACE ANTIBODY (ANTI-HBS) Test or Take a HEPATITIS C VIRUS (HCV) IGM ANTIBODY, SERUM Test
