I have received my blood test results today and some levels are high. Specifically, AST is 84, ALT is 75, GGT is 182, haptoglobin is 233, and ferritin is 326. I am 49 years old, on HBP medications, and have been experiencing severe stomach pains. I have a colonoscopy scheduled at the end of the month. Can you tell me what these levels mean and if I should be concerned enough to see a doctor sooner?

I am a 43-year-old fit male. My girlfriend tested positive for COVID-19 after experiencing symptoms like low-grade fever, headache, cough, and sinus drainage. I was with her before she tested positive and have mild symptoms myself, such as a slight dry cough and mild aches, but my rapid test was negative. I am isolating and want to know: 1) Could my rapid test be a false negative given my mild symptoms? 2) Should I retest in a few days? 3) Should my elderly parents, whom I saw a week ago, get tested even though my girlfriend did not interact with them?
