P<0.05 is considered statistically significant. MetHb, methemoglobin; RDW-SD, red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation; PA, prealbumin; C4, complement 4; CRP, C-reactive protein; A2, globulin α2; TRF, transferrin; EO%, eosinophil %; AFU, a-L-fucosidase; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; IgM, immunoglobulin M; LYM#, absolute lymphocyte count; MONO, absolute monocyte count; NEUT#, absolute neutrophil count.
