Clinical implications in laboratory parameter values in acute Kawasaki disease for early diagnosis and proper treatment.

Conclusion: The severity of systemic inflammation in KD was reflected in the laboratory values including CRP, neutrophil differential, albumin, and hemoglobin. Observing changes in these laboratory parameters by repeated examinations prior to the peak of inflammation in acute KD may aid in diagnosis of early-presenting KD patients. PMID: 29853941 [PubMed]
