|||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median | Range | Median | Range | P value | |
| Ferritin (ng/mL) (N = 88; 17 vs 71) | 924.6 | 683.5-1292.4 | 377 | 154.7-706.5 | .002 |
| LDH (U/L) (N = 100; 17 vs 83) | 562 | 407-776 | 392 | 318.5-488.5 | .005 |
| IL-6 (pg/mL) (N = 88; 17 vs 71) | 140 | 78-326.9 | 23 | 1-127 | .009 |
| Total white blood cells count (cells/mm3) (N = 113; 17 vs 96) | 10 950 | 6700-15 900 | 5340 | 4040-7135 | .0001 |
| ESR (mm/h) (N = 81; 17 vs 64) | 41 | 26.6-60 | 12 | 8-34 | .001 |
| CRP (mg/L) (N = 81; 17 vs 64) | 18.3 | 12.1-138 | 16.3 | 5.6-89.8 | .028 |
Note. LDH = lactate dehydrogenase; IL-6 = interleukin-6; ESR = erythrocyte sedimentation rate; CRP = C-reactive protein.
