Hi
Thanks for your query
Based on your query and reports am of the following opinion
1. Liver function test is deranged. The parameters related to normal functioning of liver are increased indicated by raised LDH, GGT and transaminases.
2. Raised LDH indicates injury to liver cells possibly infection with inflammation that is hepatitis.
3. LDH is present in almost all the cells of body, so its raise indicates injury to the cell. Since your brother is showing up with a deranged liver function, in this scenario a raised LDH indicates hepatic injury.
4. Albumin is lowered, there is a reversal of AG ratio which means synthetic function of liver is also affected.
5. Decreased platelet count indicates he is prone for bleeding.
Hope this helps
