ALP, alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine amino transferase; AST, aspartate amino transferase; CCC, cholangiocellular carcinoma; CTx, chemo therapy; GGT, gamma glutamyl transferase; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; INR, international normalized ratio; LD, liver dysfunction; mCRC, metastatic colorectal cancer; MELD, model of end-stage liver diseases, PDR, plasma diffusion rate; pre OP, preoperative; PT, prothrombin time; R15, retention rate at 15 minutes; SB, serum bilirubin

a PT is expressed in relation to the coagulation time of a healthy person (i.e. Quick). Accordingly, it is illustrated in percentage.
