Variable	Correlation Coefficient(r)	P.value
Hemoglobin (g/dl)	0.27	0.019
Hematocrit (%)	0.29	0.011
Reticulocyte count (%)	-0.31	0.007
Corrected Reticulocyte count (%)	-0.22	0.061
AST	-0.33	0.003
ALT	-0.05	0.618
LDH	-0.27	0.017
TSB	-0.29	0.010
Indirect SB	-0.35	0.002

AST = aspartate transaminase; ALT = alanine transaminase; LDH = lactate dehydrogenase; TSB = total serum bilirubin; indirect SB = indirect serum bilirubin. Bold values indicate statistical significance.
