Laboratory tests showed anemia (Hb 10g/dL), leukopenia (2300/uL), thrombocytopenia (65 000/uL) and slight cholestasis (aspartate aminotransferase {AST} 168 U/L; alanine aminotransferase {ALT} 269 U/L; gamma-glutamyl transferase {GGT} 293 U/L; alkaline phosphatase {ALP} 236 U/L; total bilirubin 3.30 mg/dL; C-reactive protein {CRP} 3.00 mg/dL). Here, CRP is linked to anemia (phenotype).
