Increased CRP (87.68 mg/L), alanine aminotransferase (40.1 IU/L), aspartate aminotransferase (48.2 IU/L), serum albumin (28.9 g/L), urea (14.9 mmol/L), and serum creatinine (94.9 μmol/L), and pericardial effusion and bilateral pleural effusion suggested that multiple organ dysfunction may have occurred during the infection. Here, ALB is linked to pericardial effusion.
