The values are median (range) of tested number. WBC, white blood cell; LYM, lymphocyte; PLT, platelet; Hb, hemoglobin; CRP, C-reactive protein; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; hyponatremia, serum sodium <135 mmol/L. “*”: a significant difference between groups.
