Initial workup revealed thrombocytopenia (58 × 109 cells/L, reference range 150–400 × 109 cells/L), lymphocytopenia (0.12 × 109 cells/L, reference 4–11 × 109 cells/L), elevated C-reactive protein (391 mg/L, reference <0.9 mg/L), and acute kidney injury (KDIGO stage 2 [https://kdigo.org/guidelines/acute-kidney-injury]). Here, CRP is linked to acute kidney injury.
