Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation and median (Q1–Q3). Comparisons between groups were performed by Student’s t-test and Mann–Whitney’s U test. ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; BUN: blood urea; CK: creatine kinase; CRP: C-reactive protein; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; INR: international normalized ratio; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase.
