Comparison of fractional changes of laboratory values before and after initial treatment with IVIG in patients with incomplete and complete KD

Data are expressed as mean±SD. FC=(Data at 2 to 3 days after IVIG)-(Data before IVIG)/Data before IVIG. ^*p<0.05, ^†SampliWBC: white blood cell, SEG%: percentage of segmented neutrophils, ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate,ng day of illness: day of sampling calculated as days elapsed from the first day of illness. IVIG: intravenous immunoglobulin, KD: Kawasaki disease, FC: fractional change, Non-responders IVIG non-responders, Responders: IVIG responders, CRP: C-reactive protein, TB: total bilirubin, AST: aspartate aminotransferase, ALT: alanine aminotransferase, NT-proBNP: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, GGT: gamma glutamyltransferase, NA: data not available
