case_images: Laboratory tests with complete blood count, coagulation panel, comprehensive metabolic panel, liver function tests, renal function tests, and acute phase reactants revealed hemoglobin level of 8 grams/deciliter (normal level for males, 13.5 to 17.5 grams/decilitre), C-Reactive Protein (CRP) of 47.9 milligrams/liter (normal level less than 10 milligrams/liter), procalcitonin of 0.14 nanograms/milliliter (normal level less than 0.1 nanograms/milliliter), sodium of 127 milliequivalents/liter (between 135 and 145 milliequivalents/liter), lactate of 0.8 millimoles/liter (Normal lactate range is less than 2.3 millimoles/liter), the rest of the complete blood count, coagulation panel, comprehensive metabolic panel, liver function tests, and renal function tests were normal ( Figure 2).
