*

US = ultrasound; DVT = deep vein thrombosis; CTA = computed tomography angiography; PTE = pulmonary thromboembolism; C-MRI = cholangio-magnetic resonance imaging; SIRS = systemic inflammatory response syndrome; MVT = mesenteric vein thrombosis.

Reference value = 140–400 × 109 /L (sample obtained on hospital day 1).

Reference values: males = 41–53%; females = 36–46% (sample obtained on hospital day 1).
