Table 1

Pertinent laboratory data at the time of the patient’s initial evaluation.

	Admission value	Reference range
Albumin (g/dL)	3.6	3.5–5.2
Total protein (g/dL)	6.7	6.6–8.7
AST (U/L)	145	10–50
ALT (U/L)	74	10–50
Alkaline phosphatase (U/L)	54	40–130
Total bilirubin (mg/dL)	0.8
WBC (per mcL)	2,000	4,500–11,000
Hemoglobin (g/dL)	11.3	12.0–15.0
Hematocrit (%)	34.0	36–48
Platelets (per mcL)	126,000	150,000–450,000
ESR (mm/hr)	23	0–20
CRP (mg/dL)	0.63	<0.80
ANA	Negative	Negative
ACE (U/L)	58	9–67

Key: AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; WBC: white blood cell; ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; CRP: C-reactive protein; ANA: antinuclear antibody; ACE: angiotensin converting enzyme.
