Blood tests revealed hypochromic microcytic anemia with an Hgb level of 10.2 g/dL (normal range for females: 12–16 g/dL), a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of 67.2 fL (normal range: 79–98 fL), and mildly elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), and liver enzymes, along with a high D-dimer level. Here, CRP is linked to microcytic anemia.
