Pertinent Admission Laboratory Values^a,b

	Patient 1	Patient 2	Patient 3
Leukocytes (3.4-9.6 × 109/L)	26.1	10.9	14.3
Neutrophils (1.56-6.45 × 109/L)	23.49	9.84	13.16
Lymphocytes (0.95-3.07 × 109/L)	0.85	0.72	0.73
Hemoglobin (13.2-16.6 g/dL)	10.3	13.5	14.5
Platelets (135-317 × 109/L)	577	355	308
CRP (≤8.0 mg/L)	283.4	234.1	261.2
D-dimer (≤500 ng/mL FEU)	776	389c	1046
Lactate (0.5-2.2 mmol/L)	2.1	1.4	1.1
Creatinine (0.74-1.35 mg/dL)	0.7	0.58	0.78
Sodium (135-145 mmol/L)	132	138	134
AST (8-48 U/L)	100	33	24
ALP (40-129 U/L)	181	68	71
Albumin (3.5-5.0 g/dL)	2.5	2.6	4.3

^aALP, alkaline phosphatase; AST, aspartate transaminase; CRP, C-reactive protein; FEU, fibrinogen-equivalent unit.

^bTo convert creatinine levels to μmol/L, multiply by 88.4; ALP and AST values to μkat/L, multiply by 0.0167; albumin levels to g/L, multiply by 10.

^cD-dimer level for patient 2 was obtained by a different assay with a normal range of 0 to 229 ng/mL D-dimer units.
