CRP and Iron deficiency anemia: A complete laboratory investigation of the patient was requested (shown in Table 1). It suggested mild iron deficiency anaemia, normal kidney and liver function tests, normal thyroid profile, and other insignificant findings. Inflammatory markers were found to be raised (erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR): 84 millimeter/hour, normal range: <15 millimeter/hour; C-reactive protein (CRP): 36 milligram/deciliter, normal range: <0.3 milligram/deciliter).
