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.

Elevated D dimer and liver enzymes after COVID may indicate inflammation or post viral complications. Worsening symptoms could be due to disease progression or side effects of medication. Immediate revaluation is needed if health is deteriorating.

My brother was experiencing stomach ache and indigestion about a week ago, and he noticed his stool was greenish in color. We consulted a doctor, who advised some tests. His report shows that his liver is 14.9 cm long, which is about 4 cm larger than normal. The USG report also indicates an enlarged spleen. He frequently suffers from indigestion. Please advise what could be the cause and the next steps for evaluation or treatment
