ALP, alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; BE, base excess; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; CK, creatine kinase; GT, glutamyl transferase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase.
Note: Serum biochemistry results indicated that higher HCO3−, total protein, glucose, lactate concentration, increased lactate dehydrogenase enzyme activity, hypocalcaemia and hypophosphatemia and decreased total cholesterol concentration.
