I am experiencing gas and acute constipation. My recent USG report is normal, but my blood tests show SGOT: 66 U/L and SGPT: 71 U/L. I have also noticed soiling on my feet and fingers.

Elevated liver enzymes could be due to fatty liver or medications. Digestive issues may be unrelated but require attention. Eat fiber rich foods, stay hydrated, and avoid fried or processed items. Retest liver function in 1 month.

Question

What causes increased levels of SGPT and SGOT in blood?

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.

Question

I want to ask if he needs urgent medication on the basis of his blood report for liver? He also has a breathing problem and uses an inhaler?
