  • Hepatitis: any liver function test \> 2x the upper limit of normal
  • Renal failure: estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR, corrected for body surface area) repeatedly \< 30 mL/min
  • Hypothyroidism: thryrotropin stimulating hormone level \> upper limit of normal (unless accompanied by other euthyroid indices and the confirmation by an internist or endocrinologist that this does not represent hypothyroidism)
  • Anemia: hemoglobin \< 10 grams/deciliter (borderline hemoglobin must be of known origin, stable, and not clinically significant)
