As expected, significant differences were seen in key laboratory values such as C-reactive protein (21.1 [15.2–28.9] mg/dl in sepsis vs. 0.2 [0.0–0.8] in controls) and levels of creatinine clearance (19 [13–44] ml/min/1.73m2 in sepsis vs. 62 [41–88] ml/min/1.73m2 in controls). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Sepsis.
