SD = standard deviation

Hb = haemoglobin

WCC = white cell count

Plt = platelets

ESR = erythrocyte sedimentation rate

ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme (normal 8 - 52 IU)

Ca++ = calcium (normal 2.15 - 2.50 mmol/L)

n/a = not applicable

GGT = gamma-glutamyl transferase (normal 0 - 78 IU/L)

AP = alkaline phosphatase (normal 0 - 128 IU/L)

eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate
