Peak of AST	2,121.83 ± 4,014.24	51.14 ± 69.19	0.0001
Discharge AST	19.00 ± 4.52*	31.45 ± 30.87	0.1807
ALT at admission	16.00 ± 3.28	28.61 ± 24.40	0.0879
Peak of ALT	832.16 ± 1,485.05	38.25 ± 38.51	0.0003
Discharge ALT	57.40 ± 61.62*	28.90 ± 24.38	0.5628
LDH at admission	273.83 ± 75.10	252.32 ± 95.50	0.3775
Peak of LDH	1,858.00 ± 2,705.16	260.76 ± 108.24	0.0005

AKI = acute kidney injury; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase; LDH = lactate dehydrogenase.

^*N = 5 (one AKI patient died before being discharged).
