Laboratory investigations revealed an elevated white blood cell count of 8770/μL (neutrophil count 6840/μL), microcytic anemia (hemoglobin level 9.3 g/dL), C-reactive protein (CRP) 19.99 mg/dL (normal < 0.30 mg/dL), and persistently elevated cholestatic liver enzyme levels (gamma glutamyltransferase 78 U/L [normal < 30 U/L and alkaline phosphatase 575 U/L [normal 115–359 U/L]). Here, CRP is linked to anemia (phenotype).
