Ab: antibody; ACTH: adrenocorticotropic hormone; ALDS: aldosterone; ANA: antinuclear antibody; BG: blood glucose; CPR: C-peptide; CRP: C-reactive protein; CS: cortisol; dsDNA Ab: double-stranded DNA antibodies; GAD: glutamic acid decarboxylase; Hb: hemoglobin; IA-2: islet antigen 2; IRI: immunoreactive insulin; PRA: plasma renin activity; GH: growth hormone; MPO: myeloperoxidase; Plt: platelet; PR3: proteinase-3; RF: rheumatoid factor; RNP Ab: ribonucleoprotein antibodies; ssDNA Ab: single-stranded DNA antibodies; Sm Ab: Smith antibodies; SM-C: somatomedin C; TP/Cr: total protein/creatinine; TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone; WBC: white blood cell. Above the reference range; below the reference range; #it was considered impossible to measure due to the extremely high value and the influence of insulin antibody; ##because the urine collection test was not allowed at our hospital at that time, these items were evaluated using early morning urine.
