CRP and Increased total leukocyte count: However, the presence of purulent discharge was associated with higher CRP values on the 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th postoperative days (9.48–4.74 mg/dL versus 8.35–1 mg/dL, p < 0.05), higher leukocytosis values on day 5 (13.95 × 103/μL vs. 11.17 × 103/μL, p < 0.05), and was associated with the appearance of new radiological findings in the recipient in the postoperative period (p < 0.01).
