This table shows the demographic and clinical characteristics. The most relevant laboratory finding among the liver biochemistry alterations was leukocytosis with an elevated neutrophil count. BMI: Body mass index; INR: International normalized ratio; AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; GGT: Gamma-glutamyl transferase; AP: Alkaline phosphatase.
