My father is 69 years old and is recovering from a post pneumonia lung infection. He has high blood pressure and diabetes, for which he takes daily medication. We did a blood test, and the report shows, platelets is 5.20 lacs, haemoglobin is 10.8, Serum SGOT is 99.33, Serum SGPT is 57.40, and D Dimer Quantification is 2544.47. What other tests should be done? Is this condition dangerous as the D Dimer is very high along with elevated platelets, SGOT, and SGPT? Last month, his platelets were 2.72 lacs.

Elevated D dimer may indicate ongoing clot risk. Liver enzymes are likely from infection or medications. Needs urgent follow up due to high D dimer.

Who are bigger, the red blood cells or the white blood cells?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My blood report says leukocyte count is 3900 cells per cumm, platelet count is 86 thousand per cumm, and SGOT AST is 72 IU per L. How can I get back to normal. What am I suffering from. Should I go for some check up? Please help.
