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.

I am diabetic with an HbA1c level of 7.6 H. My liver function tests show SGPT 60.5 H, ALP 50.2 L, and SGOT 49.7 H. The hepatitis B surface antigen test is reactive. Ultrasound shows the liver is normal in size and shape, but has grade one fatty changes. My HBV DNA quantitative by real time PCR is 116801, and HBeAg is 0.25. My doctor diagnosed me with hepatitis B, but did not prescribe any medication. I am a little confused about my condition and would appreciate an explanation to help clear my doubts. I have provided the test results above.
