Laboratory studies revealed leukocytosis (white blood cell count = 17,700/μL), elevated C-reactive protein (CRP; 12.20 mg/dL [reference range, 0.01–0.31 mg/dL]), serum aspartate aminotransferase (171 IU/L), and serum alanine aminotransferase levels (152 IU/L), and hyponatremia (sodium = 132 mEq/L). Here, CRP is linked to Increased total leukocyte count.
