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.

My mother tested COVID+ on 28/08/20. She has not repeated the test. Her latest blood report shows CRP higher than 0.20 and serum ferritin 130 (screenshot attached). She still feels weak and has gastric issues. Could you please suggest some diet tips or a tonic to improve her strength?

I have been diagnosed with a low fever, less than 99.6, for the past two months. After blood tests, results indicated low hemoglobin, low MCV, MCH, and MCHC, and high RDW. I have attached liver profile test, urine analysis, thyroid, and CBC reports. I was prescribed Livogen, calcium, and magnesium tablets. After three days of taking these tablets, my fever spiked to 100. I am eating better and feel better overall, except for the fever. I do not have fatigue.
