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.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

My 5 year old daughter has very frequent nosebleeds at least twice a week since she was 1 year old. Botroclot, neosporin ointment, and ice are being used continuously. She bleeds heavily and it does not stop until Botroclot is used. Blood report with respect to clotting is normal. We were told it will normalize as she grows but we are very worried. Kindly suggest us.

My father recovered from COVID about 45 days ago. He was hospitalized from April 9th to 16th. In his recent blood report, the CD4/CD8 ratio appears to be low. Could you please help me understand what this means.

I have taken a blood test. I have elevated RBC and iron binding capacity. Is this normal? This is causing anxiety to me.
