Overview
Exposure history is paramout to diagnosis. Bloodwork shows leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and moderately elevated liver enzymes.
Laboratory Findings
Electrolyte and Biomarker Studies
- Leukocytosis
- Rise in ESR
- Rise in CRP
- Liver enzymes elevated
- Hyponatremia may be noticed
- Rise in blood urea levels
- Urinalysis may show proteinuria
