CRP and venous thromboembolism: It was previously reported that a D-dimer level > 3 μg/mL together with an inpatient CRP level > 10 mg/dL and a previous history of venous thromboembolism increase the risk for posthospital venous thromboembolism and that the administration of anticoagulant therapy on discharge can reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism after hospitalization [70].
