Other laboratory findings included anemia (hemoglobin: 9.8 g/dL), leukocytosis (leukocytes: 20,900/μL), neutrophilia (neutrophils: 18,580/μL) and lymphopenia (lymphocytes: 5067/μL), and elevated inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (34.8 mg/dL) and ferritin (2716.0 ng/dL). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and anemia (phenotype).
