CRP and lymphoma: Markers of inflammation, specifically the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), were also high (ESR: 58 mm/hr; normal: ≤15 mm/hr for men, ≤20 mm/hr for women) and (CRP: 42 mg/L; normal: <10 mg/L). Lymphoma-related labs included elevated LDH (635 U/L; normal: 140-280 U/L), normal uric acid (4.1 mg/dL; normal: 2.4-6.0 mg/dL), and elevated β2-microglobulin (3.5 mg/L; normal: 0.7-1.8 mg/L).
