Table 2 Comparison of laboratory parameters between patients without and with pleural effusion.
| No pleural effusion (n=197) | Pleural effusion (n=25) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Serum amylase (U/L) | 773.00 (249.03–1944.59) | 340.00 (151.58–1360.00) | 0.109 |
| WBC (10/L) | 11.62 (8.72–15.64) | 10.89 (7.69–15.46) | 0.404 |
| ALT (U/L) | 50.15 (18.93–228.80) (n=188) | 70.45 (24.2–154.90) (n=22) | 0.780 |
| AST (U/L) | 45.55 (22.63–140.10) (n=188) | 54.10 (29.90–99.90) (n=23) | 0.594 |
| Total bilirubin (μmol/L) | 27.10 (17.23–50.90) (n=188) | 32.80 (18.68–69.60) (n=22) | 0.384 |
| Triglycerides (mmol/L) | 1.19 (0.77–2.93) (n=171) | 1.25 (0.79–3.22) (n=23) | 0.714 |
| Blood glucose (mmol/L) | 6.88 (5.26–9.83) (n=196) | 7.00 (4.69–13.30) (n=25) | 0.730 |
| Hematocrit (%) | 41.20 (37.15–45.10) | 40.90 (36.85–45.30) | 0.933 |
| Hypocalcemia | 39 (19.80) (n=196) | 11 (44.00) (n=25) | |
| Data are presented as median (interquartile range) or n (%). ALT – alanine aminotransferase; AST – aspartate transaminase; WBC – white blood cell. | |||
