CRP and acute kidney injury: Baseline hemoglobin, platelets, leukocytes, lymphocytes, CRP, LDH, and ferritin levels at hospital admission did not differ between groups, while glucose levels (215 vs. 161), PCT (0.72 vs. 0.16), and D-dimer (670 mg/dL vs. 327 mg/dL) (p=0.001) were significantly higher in patients with AKI than those without AKI.
