ALB and anemia: At admission, blood tests revealed leukocytosis (3.79 × 109/l with 90 % neutrophils), slight anemia (RBC 4.81 × 1012/l and PCV of 30.0 %), decreased albumin (1.5 g/dl), elevated hepatobiliary enzymes, possibly owing to cholestasis, and minimal changes in renal function (blood urea nitrogen 34.6 mg/dl and creatinine 0.5 mg/dl).
