CRP and acute kidney injury: Furthermore, upon admission, patients with AKI were more likely to have higher white blood cell counts (p = 0.001) and neutrophil counts (p = 0.0004), higher levels of CRP (p < 0.001), lower levels of haematocrit (p = 0.013) platelet counts (p = 0.002), and serum albumin (p < 0.001), and lower values of baseline eGFR (p < 0.001), respectively.
