Alb, albumin; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; CRP, C-reactive protein; Hb, hemoglobin; Hct, hematocrit; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; Plt, platelet; T-Bil, total bilirubin; TP, total protein; WBC, white blood cell. The data are presented as the mean ± SE for continuous variables and as the number of patients (%) for categorical variables. The values were obtained using an ANOVA or #Pearson’s chi-squared test. versus VI and UTI, versus VI and UTI, and versus UTI were obtained using Tukey’s HSD test.
