Data presented as mean±standard deviation.
Statistical comparison of two groups was performed using Independent T test (SPSS 21.0).
WBC, white blood cell; Na+, sodium; AST, aspartate amino-transferase; ALT, alanine amino-transferase; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; Cr, creatinine; CRP, C-reactive protein.
aStatistical comparison of two groups was performed using Mann-Whitney test (SPSS 21.0).
P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
