Figure 2. Continuous monitoring of complete blood count, creatinine, and coagulation during hospitalization. (a) White blood cell count (reference range, 4.0 - 11.0 × 109/L). (b) Red blood cell count (reference range, 4.40 - 5.80 × 1012/L). (c) Platelet count (reference range, 150.0 - 400.0 × 109/L). (d) Creatinine (reference range, 0.7 - 1.3 mg/dL). (e-h) Coagulation testing, including PT (reference range, 12.0 - 14.5 s), aPTT (reference range, 25.0 - 35.0 s), fibrinogen (reference range, 220.0 - 498.0 mg/dL), and D-dimer (reference range, 0.0 - 240.0 ng/mL). PT: prothrombin time; aPTT: activated partial thromboplastin time.
