CRP and Hypokalemia: In serum biochemistry, the C-reactive protein (CRP) level remained elevated (4.3–9.2 mg/dL; normal range: 0–1 md/dL), with hyperproteinemia (8 g/dL; normal range: 4.8–7.2 g/dL), hyperglobulinemia (5.2 g/dL; normal range: 2.3–3.8 g/dL), and mild hypokalemia (3.3 mmol/L; normal range: 3.5–5.5 g/dL), with no significant abnormalities noted for other biochemical variables.
