GPT and anemia: Lymphocyte (p<0.001) and monocyte (p<0.001) counts, as well as the concentrations of ALT (p=0.02) and albumin (p<0.001), decreased whereas values of CRP (p<0.001), procalcitonin (p<0.001), D-dimer (p<0.001), urea (p<0.001) and creatinine (p=0.018) showed a tendency to be higher according to anemia severity (Supplementary Tables 2, 3).
