CD8A and lymphopenia: Gong et al. [34] evaluated 12 patients displaying alterations in laboratory parameters such as hypoalbuminemia, lymphopenia and neutrophilia, increased CRP and LDH, and reduced CD8+ count, concluding that the combination of hypoalbuminemia, lymphopenia and high concentrations of CRP and LDH could predict a more serious acute lung injury on admission to the hospital.
