He had a leukocyte count of 8.3 × 10∗9/L (normal range: 3.9–10 × 109/L), C-reactive protein (CRP) (98.3 mg/L) (normal range: <5 mg/L), normocytic anaemia (haemoglobin 91 g/L, MCV 91.9), normal liver-parameters, and slightly elevated D-dimer values (1.26 mg/L). Here, CRP is linked to anemia (phenotype).
