Platelet transfusion was applied from day 1 to day 3 and platelet counts (PLT) were increased on day 3 compared with those on admission. APTT, activated partial thromboplastin time; AST, aspartate transaminase; AT, anti‐thrombin activity; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; Cr, creatinine; CRP, C‐reactive protein; FBG, fibrinogen; FDP, fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products; Hb, hemoglobin; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; PCT, procalcitonin; PT‐INR, prothrombin time – international normalized ratio; T‐Bil, total bilirubin; WBC, white blood cells.
