Blood tests revealed severe inflammation (white blood cell [WBC] count, 12,340/μL; C-reactive protein [CRP], 21.0 mg/dL), anemia (hemoglobin, of 9.9 g/dL), poor nutrition (serum albumin, 1.8 g/dL), and chronic kidney disease (blood urea nitrogen, 41.8 mg/dL; serum creatinine, 1.97 mg/dL). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and anemia (phenotype).
