I have been experiencing a cold for the last five years, and my doctor advised that I may need to manage it long term. My recent blood tests show Hb 13.8 gm, TLC 16,100/cu mm, Neutrophils 87, Lymphocytes 10, Eosinophils 1, Basophils 0, and ESR 25 mm in the first hour. My biochemistry report shows SGPT/ALT 62.6 U/L and SGOT/AST 71.2 U/L. The doctor has recommended a work up for eosinophilia. Could you please review these results and advise on the next steps?

Raised TLC (16,100) and mildly high LFTs may suggest chronic low grade infection or allergy. Eosinophil is low, ruling out allergic cause. Evaluate sinuses and liver function. Avoid cold triggers.

I am 4 months pregnant and was taking 100 mg iron tablets with no issues. After moving to a new city, my new doctor prescribed 500 mg iron tablets. Within 15 days, my LFT levels have increased dramatically, reaching levels similar to primary liver cirrhosis. My recent liver function test report: SGOT: 193 U/L SGPT: 257 U/L GGT: 65 U/L ALP: 338 U/L Direct Bilirubin: 0.60 mg/dL

Sir/maam, I had a few tests conducted as a routine annual checkup by my company. My CBC is fine, KFT is fine, but a few liver readings are very poor. Kindly guide me regarding this. I have attached my report. My weight is 100 kg, height 6 feet, HbA1c 5.5, blood pressure 122/82, pulse 75, and oxygen 99.
