Associations of the Highest Body Temperature and Liver Enzyme Levels in Patients with COVID-19.

		AST		ALT		ALP		GGT
R		0.730		0.574		0.494		0.479
P		<0.001		0.005		0.019		0.024

AST and ALP were measured at the time of maximum value of ALT or GGT in patients with liver injury, and at presentation in patients without liver injury. AST: aspartate aminotransferase. Since the upper limit of normal was different in male (64 U/L) and female (34 U/L), serum values of GGT adjusted as xULN were used for the analysis. ALT: alanine aminotransferase, ALP: alkaline phosphatase, GGT: gamma-glutamyl transferase, R: Pearson’s correlation coefficient
