Haematocrit values, thrombocyte counts and serum levels of amylase, lipase, sodium (Na), potassium (K), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cholesterol, (S5A–S5H Fig), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), direct bilirubin (diBi), creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (S6A–S6G Fig) showed no significant changes with severe AP regardless of the method of analysis. This evidence concerns the gene GPT and alkaline phosphatase measurement.
