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.

I am 37 years old and have had irregular periods for the past two years. Once my periods start they do not stop for 15 days. My report shows 12 mm endometrium thickness and a bulky uterus. I am now on the 13th day of bleeding. I have been prescribed Musli Kairadi Kashayam with Prawal Bhasma before food and Kutajarishtam 15 ml after food. Is it fine to take?
