1
Pre testing labs were missing in 30% of subjects. Average time between pre‐hospitalization and admission labs was 5(±1.5) days.
2
Admission labs were missing in 5% of subjects.
3
P‐values represent pairwise Student's two‐tailed t‐tests for normally distributed continuous variables and Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney rank sum test for non‐normally distributed variables (denoted by *). Difference from control, P < 0.05.
4
ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase; WBC = white blood cell.
5
Values represent plasma concentrations.
6
Values represent whole blood concentrations.
a
Represents liver enzyme values which are above the upper limit of normal.
