Lab Report Comparison between Initial and Final Visit

Lab test	Initial value	Final value	Mean difference (± SD)	p value
Albumin	4.23	4.03	0.20	0.001
ALT	20.33	30.42	10.09	<0.001
AST	27.42	30.75	3.33	0.028
Cholesterol	150.1	163	12.9	0.011
Creatinine	0.59	0.525	–0.07	0.005
Phosphorus	5.01	5.56	0.55	0.024

Paired t-test analysis of lab results at initial and final visits. Only significant differences from lab results are shown. None of the changes in measurements were deemed clinically significant (all within lab normal ranges). Uncorrected p values are represented (n = 12).

ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase.
