Blood analysis showed elevated infection markers (C-reactive protein (CRP) 19.1 mg/dl; Procalcitonin (PCT) 8.2ng/ml; white blood cell (WBC) 14 G/l; interleukin-6 (Il-6) 154 pg/ml, fibrinogen 613 mg/dl) as well as markers for an impaired liver function (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) 224 U/l; serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) 212 U/l; International Normalized Ratio (INR) 1.3). Here, IL6 is linked to infection.
