More than half of the participants (n = 579, 51.3%) presented with varying degrees of anaemia (haemoglobin < 11 grams per decilitre [g/dL]), whilst creatinine was > 120 micromole per litre (μmol/L) in 291 (23.8%), CRP was > 10 millimoles per litre (mmol/L) in 895 (74.5%), lactate was > 2 mmol/L in 470 (42.0%) and albumin was < 35 g/L in 634 (60.8%) participants. Here, CRP is linked to anemia.
