Initial laboratory investigations revealed mild leukocytosis (WBC 10.2 × 109/L), mild acute kidney injury (creatinine 187 μmol/L, urea 11.7 mmol/L), hyponatremia (sodium 128 mmol/L), elevated lactate (4 mmol/L) likely due to sepsis, and high C-reactive protein (CRP) (283 mg/L) (Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and Increased total leukocyte count.
