CRP and Hypoalbuminemia: Laboratory findings at admission were significant for anemia, lymphopenia, hypoalbuminemia (2.5 g/dL) (normal range 3.5-4.7 g/dL) as well as elevations in D-dimer (4.29 ug/mL fibrinogen-equivalent units (FEU)) (normal range <0.50 ug/mL FEU), procalcitonin (30.5 ng/mL) (procalcitonin> or equal to 10 ng/mL is important systemic inflammatory response, almost exclusively due to severe bacterial sepsis or septic shock), C-reactive protein (210 mg/L) (normal range <7.0 mg/L), ferritin (649 ng/mL) (normal range 22-322 ng/mL), and troponin (0.19 ng/mL) (normal range <0.05 ng/mL).
