| Assay (normal range) | At Admission | During Hospitalization | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Second test | Third test | ||
| WBC (3.5–9.5 *10^9/L) | 4.7 ± 1.8 | 5.1 ± 1.45 | 5.6 ± 1.8* |
| Lymphocyte (1.1–3.2*10^9/L) | 1.4 ± 0.6 | 1.5 ± 0.6 | 1.5 ± 0.4 |
| ALT (9–50 U/L) | 31.0 ± 31.6 | 27.8 ± 25.0 | 28.8 ± 22.2 |

Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation
Abbreviation: WBC white blood cell, ALT the Alanine Aminotransferase test, AST the aspartate aminotransferase test, K+ the potassium blood test, CRP C-reactive protein
