Question 1

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.

Question 2

My father is 80 years old and has been suffering from fever for the past 10 days. He was on antibiotics for 5 days and admitted to the hospital after an X ray showed pneumonia and his blood report showed a high WBC count (16,400). After one day of treatment in the hospital, the fever subsided, but the doctor advised to continue treatment for 5 to 6 days before discharge. Now, he has swelling in his hands and legs, and he is also having bathroom related issues. What could be the reason for this swelling, and is it serious?

Question 3

My current weight is 55 kg, and lately, I have been feeling weaker day by day. I am very concerned and would like to understand what the main issue in the report might be.

Dear Doctor, My 2 month old son has been coughing for the past few days. His blood report today shows: HGB: 9.5, Platelets: 887, CRP (Quantitative): 23.6. Could you please guide us on the next steps? Thank you.

CRP 23.6 is high, suggesting infection. Low hemoglobin also needs follow-up. Consult a pediatrician immediately. Ensure baby is feeding well and not lethargic. Do not delay, infant infections can progress quickly.
